Default LS Swapped Notch Mustang

Here is our LS Swap 8.5" tire Mustang we just finished up.
These are some of the first hits on the new set-up. We are on a 150 shot all-in out of the hole.

The front shocks are strange 10 way adjustable set on 2 from full soft. The rears are Afco double adjustable coil overs in stock location. They were on 12 on the compression and 20 on the rebound.

The springs are 14-150 on the front and the rears are 12-110

Tire PSI went from 14.5 down to 13 psi in 1/2 psi increments with very little difference.

We pulled the converter and are having it loosened another 500 rpm and we plan to adjust the suspension a little. I am thinking I need to tighten the fronts up and maybe raise the rear of the car 1/4" or so.

Here is our best pass. All passes were within a tenth. We mainly lowered the tire PSI and softened the rear shocks between these four passes. With very little changes in E.T. or 60 ft.

Reaction -- .5909
60ft -- 1.3881
330ft -- 3.9409
1/8 ET -- 6.0654
1/8 MPH -- 116.46
1000 ET -- 7.8899
1/4 ET -- 9.3782
1/4 MPH -- 139.79

We are running the Hoosier 26x8.5 tires. Being that we are running in a limited street class. That is the biggest they allow. We are also limited to a 750cfm carb and a .093 nitrous jet.

We have coil overs in the stock location in order to fit the class. The fronts are strange single adjustables.
