Default UPDATE My Cam Only Vert went 11.39 @ 120.59

Changed the gear from a 4.11 to 4.56 and the tire form Hoosier QTP 26x11.5x15 to MT 28x10.5x15S
New Best
1.56 60’s, 11.39 @ 120.59
DA 2259, Race weight 3470lbs


On the street with a 315x35x17 Nitto (25.5 tall) this set-up made the car way more fun to drive on the street. It should have came stock with 4.56 gears. You can row through the gears so much faster and smoother. Still at 70 mph I am only tacking 2100 rpm in 6th gear.
6 speeds are so great!

What rpm are you turning through the traps with those steep gears?

Very nice, nice 60'

I assume that MT tire is big enough such that your effective gearing is about the same as 4.10s and and stock tires.

What did you do to get the raceweight down so low or is that the car w/o you in it?

I'm with Ragtop. How did you get the weight down so low. I've got a turbo kit and stock wheel/tire setup....but still, my raceweight is about 400lbs heavier than yours.

He removes all his seats and puts in a lightweight racing seat, removed the front bumper and a mini battery just to name a few of his mods.

Thanks guys
The car is trapping at 6500 rpm with a 28” tire.
4.56 with 28” is about the same a 4.11 with 26”
The car has been light up a little with thing like Bogart wheels, skinnies, slick, BMR k-member, light weight bat, remove seats and installed race seat for track day, ect.ect.
All the little thinks do add up!
But I still have AC, power brakes and steering

your turbo kit, depending on which, is 100-150 lbs extra right there. if you have intercoolers then that's more weight too.
