11 This Spring Maybe?? Im not really into Racing this Car as much as others Iv had idk y..but Iv been to the track twice I think.
2000 Firehawk
6 speed, Monster Stage 3
LS6 Crate (stock 243s)
MS4 Cam
Full Exhaust
UMI Ajd T/A Adj Panhard bar, and LCAs in the lowest setting
Stock shocks and springs
4:10s in the 10 bolt
315/35/17 Micky Ts with 12lbs of air or so
Last Time out
Best When 12.37@ 117-118 I think with a 2.3 60ft lol.. I did have a 2.0 60ft but missed 4th..
Anyway..
Im thinking if I could get the car to transfer weight it might do better.
It spins most of first and a lot of second and still in 3rd..(horrable track is most of it)
But Im thinking of doing some Strano Springs and Konis shocks so I can adjust them..(not a race car so..dont want QA1s or similar)
Then some 15in wheels and a 275/50/15 slick..
Finally a New Rear..4:30 gears...prob a Fabd 9in..cus they look cool lol..
Does this look like high 11s?

An easy launch around a 1.9 60' will get you in the 11s as is.. bring a bottle of VHT with you and spray down the tires before your run, let it sit for a couple minutes, do your burnout and traction even on an unprepped surface won't be of any concern.

VHT taste pretty good, but you will not **** for two weeks.
I would say with traction you should be mid to high 11`s, thats just my guess. Did you ever find someone to buy your wheels?

I would advise against 4.56's. You said that the car isnt a race car so i assume that you drive it often of the street? With 4.56's on 315/35/17 tires you will only have 117 mph at 7000rpm, and 109-110 mph at 6500 R's at the top of 4th gear. IF you dont mind those speeds on dr's/street tires than 4.56's on a 28 inch tall tire will net you 6400 rpms crossing the line at 117-118mph in 4th that you stated, 128mph will be at 7k in 4th. IMO, I would get the 9inch rear and do 4.10's at the most. On 275/50/15's and 4.10's it will be at 6300 r's crossing the line at 118mph, and you will have 131 mph if you want to take it to 7k. BTW 275/50/15 tires are almost the same height as stock tires. (25.82 inches vs 275/40/17 which is 25.66 inches.) Also for future mods you dont want to be suck with a car only having 127/128 mph at the top of 4th...

I maybe put 3000 miles on it a year..mainly to car shows. Im thinking 4:56s will do fine with a 28in tire!
Things have changed..Im going to a Pinks Event and Doing a lot of changes now lol

Oh okay, for the track 4.56's will be great with 28 inch tires trapping 118. I was just making sure that you know that you would only have 115-120 mph in 4th on street tires lol.
