Default Suspension questions

What do you think the best 60 time for this set up is.

Adjustable TQ arm, adjustable LCA with double sperical rod ends and adjustable PHR, LCA brackets, QA1 adjustable shocks (may go ahead and swap them for coil overs), adjustable drag sway bar. 15X8 wheel with a 28 inch tall MT ET street 28 11.5 15 or whatever, not wider then a 10 inch wide tire.

At set up by someone who REALLY knows what they are doing?

Trailor the car to Burkhart and have him set you up. He's only a couple hours away.

Allready talking to them about the cage. Have to call him here soon so I will talk to him about it.

Got a quote from the transporter to have him take it over and back and he is VERY FAIR on prices.

Yeah I could trailer it out myself but it would no be enclosed and and thats at least 12 hours of driving there and back twice. Just not worth it to me lol.

I'm not sure what king of power you're making but I have a similar set up minus the adjustable control arms and brackets and my swaybar is a spohn stock style and I've went 1.32.

But if you could cut a 1.28 with the same setup but tuned properly, wouldn't you want to put fourth the extra effort? Just think what your personal best would be if it was consistant 1.28-1.30's. 9's?

12 hours of driving is like almost 3 trips to the track and track tuning it himself.
If it was me and I was trying to set it up and dial it and and was having problems and couldn't get it right then yes definately I would make the trip.

Talked to Burkhart.

Its going to be a 1.3 car all day long. May be a little better.

That will get me 9.9's on the current set up based on current times and 60.

Swap out the cam and have the heads and intake ported. Who knows...

On a 300 shot it droped a second.... its REALLY choked out.
