Congrats!

You should have it dialed in nicely before the good air gets here

(best Darth Vader voice) Impressive!

I agree the weight is key here on the performance, but that car should hit 10.30s in good air!

I'm willing to bet you can get the 60' down in the 1.3X range with some suspension work.

Awesome ET's!

With some more work a 10.30's would be nice. Maybe we need to replace the stock torque arm with a performance aftermarket arm. See if that would get us some 1.3's 60fts.

Man I wish my car was that light LOL.

Killer runs, that car has potential 9's in it cam only once you've gotten it all figured out and the winter air gets here!

ya probably could use some taller tire and more gear, and while you're at it loosen that converter up some, to about 5000, and let her eat

That's right! we are still using a stock torque arm for now. This is probably why it only lifts the front wheels a few inches and no wheelie. Maybe we should start looking into some chromoly torque arms and find one to try out.

bmr chromoly adjustabel and a bmr tranny crossmember.... I guarintee that will make a world of difference. You'll have some instant center adjustment with the crossmember mounting points too to help keep the nose down some once the car starts leaving hard, plus it will get the tq arm off the tranny tailshaft, something you DEFINATELY want to do.

I know the crossmember was ligher then the stock M6 crossmember I took out of my car, that was very obvious when I picked teh 2 up, never weigh'd them though.

The tq arm will be heavier then stock, but I am sure it's WAY lighter then the spohn one I took off that had it's own heavy duty crossmember that went where the factory g load brace or a bmr driveshaft loop goes. Even with adding a bmr driveshaft loop, I know that I saved weight going with the bmr crossmember/ds loop and tq arm over the stock tranny crossmember and the spohn arm I had on the car.
