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? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...5_2073491_.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...5_2073492_.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...5_2073493_.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...5_2073511_.jpg[/QUOTE] |
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. |
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? |
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. |
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 ;) |
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? |
I agree front shocks and more TC. Taking out weight will always help! |
Ported Fast 90 MM on the car right now... |
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.. |
I agree, more stall if you are not spinning |
I don't think I'm spinning... but I think I can get more out of my 60' with suspention. |
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 |
I have a UD pulley. My A/C is gone, front sway bar is gone, spare tire/jack is gone, lightwieght SS hood, |
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. |
Would anyone recommend SFC's? |
