Much safer to run e85 over 93 in a boosted setup. Why not run it if you can?

Being an s197 Coyote, I need to run slightly bigger injectors to use e85. I got a set of ford racing 47's for $50. That's all I needed. Tune was already paid for with all future revisions being free.

Handful of guys here with dedicated e85 setup being the only change have picked up anywhere from half a tenth to a full tenth. Real world results. Nothing special. But to me $50 for a tenth is worth it

I remember when JP and I put the diff brace on his IRS to slow the wheel hop.... Now he's got a SRA no issues
If you have noticed 60ft has dropped with irs cars. Vettes, 5gens, caddilacs have all run well into the 10s and even 9s on stock suspension.....looks like 6gens have now done that too.

Any stock suspension sra cars doin that?

Btw sra cars can wheel hop bad to. Sra has the advantage of being less costly and people are simply more familiar with it so i can understand why some switch to it.

Irs offers the ability the control the wheel better. It has less weight to to control and since the diff is mounted to the body there is one less force to deal with. Manufacturers aren't goin TO sra to gain control and traction.....think about it.

Super easy on those for sure. Especially when that irs is not known for its greatness anyway.

I'm not hauling fuel around in muh trunk. If it's a race car fine.....but some want to pass that off as street car **** and it's not.

60ft has dropped in IRS cars, and they run faster... idk because they make more ******* horsepower? you really are retarded man. they still cant run better than live axle cars.

Not really......i can't say i recall any bonestock suspension sra cars doin that.

And even more unlikely on a dr like alot of those cars are. Even if they did look at the other areas sra lacks in comparison.

IRS can actually let the tires travel independently and vertically

The only thing retarded is not realizing the potential of irs and acting like a neanderthal about sra. Its don't need to "go faster" in a ****** qtr mile to be better. All this all out fast **** that is 3-4 seconds faster than our cars irs or sra don't really matter to. But a good irs system would help 99% of basic hotrod street cars in every way.

Manufactures didn't keep sta around so long because it was better......they kept it because it was cheaper.

They went to irs to gain traction and help control the more powerful engines.

I'm nit saying irs has a place in top fuel......which is real stupid for you to even bring up a car that has no suspension at all.

I'm talking about traction.....irs is superior at making traction. Traction helps drag racing....control helps drag racing. I can give you several points on how irs helps control and all you can say is top fuel cars don't have irs......lol

Do you have a top fuel car?? I don't...so me no care about them

Seems to me the guys with newer mustangs are loving their irs even after having initial doubts about it.

Cheaper/easier to maintain. Most are more familiar with it to.

Unless your car is a full on drag car you will see a benefit of irs. Sad that you narrow it down to a full on drag car which typically lives on a smooth concrete pad to try and prove a point that's not even in your best interest. Shows how narrow minded you are.

Hey errybody top fuel cars are like 30ft long.......lets all lengthen our cars......lmao
