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.

 

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?
