Default typical suspension only gain

what is the typical 1/4 mile time gain for a stock ls1 car with a full wolfe racecraft drag suspension and a spooled 9 inch rear, and also some radials and skinnes? lets say it also has a tubular k member if it makes a difference I know a bunch of things come into play but what is a TYPICAL or average gain.

thanks

You left too many open variables and weren't specific on your setup now and what you are looking at changing. What is your suspension now? What transmission do you have? Torque converter? Do you spin off the line now? How long? What tires do you have now? Which are you looking at? 60 foot times now? Wheel hop now?

Too many variables and unanswered questions. That said, suspension is KEY. Gotta get that power down and with control.

As I said before I know multiple things come into play, I simply want to know what someone can expect in gains if the car is completely stock with the exception of suspension mods.

Just a ball park figure, nothing exact. keep it simple

If we have to label some things though, we can say the car is a 2000 camaro ls1 m6, completely stock except for a full drag suspension and spooled 9 inch rear with slicks and skinnies

what will the car run before and after those mods

thanks again
