Lol I remember that, I think I told him to put some poly motor mounts in there and don't think he believed me

I installed the tq arm and coilovers at the same time but it mounted real nice to existing holes. It did send a little more vibration into the car but nothing terrible . Probably wouldn't be really be noticeable with an aftermarket exhaust. The car plants and lifts much much better now. The UMI piece is very nice and stout!

What we're your times before these upgrades?
Do you think that set up adds or reduces strain on the rear end?

I was running 13.07-13.13 and went down to 12.82. 60ft dropped a tenth off my previous best from a 1.98 to a 1.88. Keep in mind the suspension was factory 150k miles. A lot of slop in that and the whimpy stock tq arm. I don't know if it made a difference in strain on the rear. If I had to guess I'd say not a noticeable difference but if you went from spinning to hooking then yes

Wow, that's impressive man. My previous times are not very impressive for cam only. So far my best is 12.6 at 112. Since then I've swapped out the LS1 intake and TB for a fast 92/92. I've always been afraid to launch hard, so I've been slipping the clutch achieving a 1.9 60ft. Hopefully a chrs1313 non ac and some weight reduction can get me into the 11's...

That chrs1313 ram air will make a nice difference on your car! Im trying to take weight out of the front too. Trying to make the 10 bolt last as long as possible.

I have the SSRA with a/c which is comparable to the chris1313 setup. I felt a nice sotp gain with it. Def a worthwhile mod. I was also looking at a lithium battery to take another 20lbs or so off the front

Nice! I took all my A/C out today. Should free up a good amount of weight. Cleans up the engine bay nicely!

No more track visits as of now they should be opening back up in early march. I'm debating whether to keep it "stock" and go for 11's or skip that and do some more work to it and get it down in the mid/low 11's for this year.

I'm pretty sure it will go 11's with the 4000 converter, dyno tune and ls6 intake, along with the 150-200lbs I'm gonna take off the front. Maybe go 11.70's - 11.80's with long tubes and exhaust. Either way I'm itching to get back to the track!



Quick Reply: Broke into 12's pretty much stock 98z
