Stuck in mid 11's
 
Alright this is my deal, the car goes a very consistant 11.6X @ 117.X all day long...

Its a full weight, cam only car making 406 to the tires... 3500 stall, 3.73 gear on a 275/40R17 ET Street radial

Stock suspention with front sway bar removed, Bolt in UMI TQ arm, and LCAs..

Would adju front anf rear shocks help me out? Maybe a bias ply tire?

My '60 are 1.6X

Adjustable shocks, a set of 15 inch drag wheels to get the rotating mass down some, a bigger stall would probably help too.

Mean87SS Jul 5, 2009 09:43 AM

The 15's would really make that difference?

I have prostars for the rear but I'm still on a stock rear so don't want to invest the time/money in putting in longer studs.

How big would you go on the stall?

JL ws-6 Jul 5, 2009 09:49 AM

I'd hold off on the rims until you put a rear in the car for the reason you already stated, get the good studs with the new rear when you put it in. Good chance to get the gearing a little better too, 4.10 or 3.89/3.90, somewhere around there would be good.

I'd put a 4400 in the car if track times are you #1 concern, if you still want to drive the car alot, 4000 would probably be a better fit.

Mean87SS Jul 5, 2009 10:08 AM

Thanks for the input.

Its just an old Yank ST3500 in the stock tranny, so I'll hold off on this combo for a while... or until something brakes ;)

Deerhunter-Z28 Jul 5, 2009 11:28 AM

Just work on the weight if you want to drive it till something breaks.

I'd do front shocks and more converter. What intake manifold on the car?

AChotrod Jul 5, 2009 12:13 PM

I agree front shocks and more TC. Taking out weight will always help!

Mean87SS Jul 5, 2009 10:46 PM

Ported Fast 90 MM on the car right now...

lemons12 Jul 5, 2009 11:00 PM

nitrous.......


lol jk...


i DD a VIG 4k stall.. i would move up to that if you plan on spraying later.. if not, go to a 4400.. the difference DD those is hardly noticeable..
just make sure you get a good converter..

take some weight out if you have not..

those two together should put you 11.3s-11.4s..

Dan Jul 6, 2009 12:02 AM

I agree, more stall if you are not spinning

Mean87SS Jul 6, 2009 12:06 AM

I don't think I'm spinning... but I think I can get more out of my 60' with suspention.

CarsandWomen Jul 6, 2009 12:13 AM

yank out all that AC stuff, maybe a few hp at the most but between 100 and 200 lbs. Maybe a UnderDrive Pulley if you dont have one

Mean87SS Jul 6, 2009 12:20 AM

I have a UD pulley.

My A/C is gone, front sway bar is gone, spare tire/jack is gone, lightwieght SS hood,

98blueSScamaro Jul 6, 2009 12:36 AM

Yank SS4000 and a rear drag bar with a set of front shocks will work killer. And a set of 15's in the rear would be nice.

Mean87SS Jul 6, 2009 12:58 AM

Would anyone recommend SFC's?
