66/54 on a cog. that is as slowest an f1a can turn. figured we would start small and go from there.

What front tubular suspension did you go with? Did you also replace the front spindles?
just did the uppers for now. they are the hotchkis knock offs. the front spindle/ race brakes are wilwood. also has qa1 coil overs up front.

ended up with a 73/42 cog setup, and used a boost controller for 23lbs. ended up going 9.55 at 143. converter was too tight and would only stall to 3400, when it should be 4900. car might be going away for something better, so will see what happens.
