Just saw video of you Z bro that thing takes off!!!

Front:
QA1 front 12 way adj. shocks.
moly lower control arms
moly K-member
no sway bar.

Rear:
QA1 rear 12 way adj. shocks
moly race control arms (no bushings)
home made moly torque arm

I am sure that all this stuff wasn't needed to go 11's. I was kinda crazy as I built my car. I did everything backwards. I built everything around it then finally put a motor in the car.

I would start with a rearend and suspension components. You can pick up a lot of time just by a good 60 foot.

That's not backwards. That's the RIGHT way to do it!

Yeah thats what I always thought. I just had to hear a lot of people bust my ***** for having the slowest strongest built race car.

Ive been 11's with 340 wheel and a 3450 pound raceweight. Had a 4000 stall and cut 1.6x 60 ft's. I would think your car should make around the same power so work on your weight and suspension first.
