Default Putting in some drag suspension. ;)

I'm having MMS install my kmember, aarms, hal fronts, and an eibach drag launch spring kit. 40#s off the front and better weight transfer should be worth .07th in the 60'. It hardly seems worth it, but I've already got the parts so why not? <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> I'll let everyone know the results.

There's no doubt that you'll love the Hal setup. The launches will be a LOT more consistent, and it'll really help on those crappy tracks.
Man, your super street car is getting more and more drag everyday. <img src="gr_tounge.gif" border="0"> When does the 4,500 stall go in? <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Hehe tell me about it. I've been driving around with skinnines, no front sway bar, and 4.10s on for the past 1000 miles.

As long as the car is quiet, reliable, and comfortable for me to drive I'll still daily drive it. When I throw a bigger motor in the 4.10s will probably be swapped out for 3.42s, and hopefully with the Hal shocks I can make the front suspension really tight when not at the track. I'd love a low 1.5 60' time, but the ST3800 is such an awesome stall on the street I don't think I want to pull it just yet. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">
