Setting up suspention for certain 1/4 miles times... (F body)
I was wondering if we might be able to set up a sticky worthy (hopefully) guide for general suspension requirements for certain ET goals.
It would be something like this:
12 Second ET: The rear end and driveshaft will be fine, you only need to get some good tires on the car.
11 Second ET: At this point you should be at xxxHP or so, and you will need to start considering a rear end and driveshaft upgrade, as well as suspension components x, y, z.
10 Second ET: You will need about xxxHP, and almost for sure need a new rear end, etc etc.
It would be great to see something like this, so that newbies like myself can get an idea of what is involved for certain goals. It isn't too hard to find out approx what HP you will need to get you there, but if you are breaking stuff all the time or the car isn't safe on the stock suspension then what is the point?
I did do some searching and checked out the FAQ, but couldn't find anything.
Thanks everyone, hopefully we can make a nice write up.
