I wasnt real sure where to post this since it has to do with the rear and suspension, but just wanted to get an idea.... I plan on taking the car (in sig) to the strip this year, just to see what she'll do and what i should expect out of it. im more of a street racer, race my friends kind of person, but wouldnt mind having a time slip for some proof of what she does in the quarter. mods are in sig, Stock internal T56 w/ diamond stage 2 clutch.... the car will have the following mods done before i go... (ordering next friday)

MWC 9"
-35 spline lightened spool
-Strange nodular center section
-back brace
-aluminum daytona pinion support
-3.89 gear
-LCA relo Brackets
-PST 3.5" Drive shaft with forged yokes

MWC SFC weld in
MWC adj panhard bar
MWC adj lower control arms
MWC adj torque arm
MWC cross member w/ driveshaft safety loop and relo bracket for torque arm
Strano sway bars
Strano springs
bilstein shocks (maybe single adj konis)
Founders performance strut tower brace

MSD 2-step
SLP line lock

Maybe try to get a set of drag lites with some slicks for the track?

with all this^ plus the power shes makin... What kind of time should i expect? granted, there alot of variables...temp, altitude, driver ect... just tryin to get an idea i suppose.

Also, what RPM would be safe to launch the car at? Im worried about the tranny mostly...

This look like a decent setup for a 95% street car?

thanks!

No one? Well maybe Im asking too much here. I really just wanna know if its a decent setup, which imo its a great setup, and just wanna know what a safe rpm to launch it at.

Should hold up just fine. What tires you gonna run?

allout06

iTrader: (11)

not too sure yet. Either MT or hoosires. Not sure if i should run a 26" or 28" tire also. 15x8 or 15x10 wheel.....lol. Than what rpm can i launch it at. The tranny worries me.

If it is a street/strip car I would ditch those shocks and get afcos for drag racing. Your launch RPM is going to depend on your tires. If you want it to hook really well I would get 28/10.5 stiff wall slick on 15 inch wide wheels.

I would actually suggest narrowing your rear if you a get a MWC 9 cause it looks badass. Be prepared to wait, I ordered my MWC 9inch last week of november and its still not here.

If i was planning on going to the strip alot id consider all of that. But this is going to b 90% street car... So i don't wanna mini tub it Ir have straight drag shocks. That's why i was gonna go with the blistering or konis. Should i run a 28" tire regardless?

Honestly, I stopped reading after I saw you had a MWC 9". It's ready to be launched.

iTrader: (11)

Lol.....ok thanks. I've never had a built rear so i don't know what they can and can't take. Should i run a 26 or 28 inch tire??

You don't have have to mini tub the car to run drag shocks! They go into the factory location, heck you can even purchase them with you MWC rear-end at the same time.

I would run a 28 inch stiff wall MT slick if I had a 6spd car.

If it was a straight drag car id consider it. But its more street car. Just want a decent time for the non believers lol.

Here is my track set up ...

Weld Racing RT-S (Black Anodized)
Front: 15"x4" 26x7.50-15 M/T Sportsman
Rear: 15"x10" 27x11.50-15 Hoosier QTP

All is sitting in the garage ready to be mounted except the Hoosiers will be in on Monday. I have a tiny, tiny bit of caliper grinding for the RT-S's (expected from the posts I've read) and a local 1/8-mile track opens next Sunday for test n' tune. I will be shaking it down without a shift light, two-step or line lock since I am still shopping for those.

Looks really good man. What did the tire/wheel setup set u back?

BrianSF-GA

Thanks ... I will post photos next week in a new thread titled something like my previous thread "Weld RT-S deal is too good to pass up ... went black ... pictures!" when I get it all mounted. Sent you a pm about the $$$.

BrianSF-GA

By the way, you will be grinding a whole lot off your calipers to fit Drag Lites or investing in Strange or Wilwood brakes ... something to consider.

I also posted a reply in your "capable of 10's??" thread about your T-56 worries.

What part of the Country are you in?

Thanks man. I live in kokom, in

Cool ... let us know when you get those runs in.

I drive my car 3500 miles a summer. I drive it almost every day that I can on afco shocks, and big and little setup. Your car isn't going to 60ft at all with a road-race shock, and you aren't going to turn any decent numbers if you car is really making 550+ rwhp.

Hey, what do I know? I drive my car 4hrs one way to the track run 10.50s and drive it home.

BrianSF-GA

.... niiiiiiice ... ! What tires are you hooking that well with?

allout06

iTrader: (11)

what do u mean by that statement? i dont make enough power to make a decent time?

also, how do the afcos feel on the street since the car will see the track just a few times a year. i dont know what the better way to go will be.... would an on car adjustable shock like a koni get me a decent 60' time? that way i can just switch the settings for the track and street use?. You gotta keep in mind this is mainly a street car. I wanna run like a 10.60.

transam69230

What I am saying is you can have 1000rwhp but if you can't put it to the ground your car isn't going to run fast at the track! Drag racing is all about the first 60 feet. If you can't cut decent 60ft times then better have a lot of hp to make it up on the back half of the track.

I run a MT 325/50/15 and my car 60ft 1.4x but that is an okay short time. I really would like the car to be in the 1.3x range but dialing in the suspension is hard.

My old 346 h/c with a 150 shot of nitrous made exactly 600rhwp. Spraying out of the hole the best 60ft time i had was a 1.46 and the car went 10.48.

If you use Koni or a similar style shock it isn't going to let the car weight transfer. You want the car to plant the rear tires and move the car forward and drive them into the ground.
