Default Suspension?

How much time would be taking off my ET, if I redid all of my suspension?

In order to answer your questions I need this.

Transmission Type
Rear gear ratio
Tire
Engine mods

Suspenion will help, how much is a different matter.

I would do a stall converter 1st. The 18" rims with rubber bands are not going to help either. You could do a drag radial, 2000-3500 stall and if your spinning then get Rar LCA, Torque arm, and Subframe connectors.

Hows your 60 foot??

I haven't ran my car yet, but what would be the best stall converter to buy? i'm looking at a 3600 stall. I have a cam waiting to be put in.

you will need the stall way fix, http://www.pcmforless.com email Bryan herter and he can fix you up. If the car reaches over 2800 stall speed, the tranny freaks out and goes into 3rd gear. Will your car make that much stall speed, who knows but if it does its going to suck.

After. Really only if the stall wall occurs.
