    Better traction for drag racing

    When I bought my flex-a-forms, the guy said that the caltracs work well. I can't testify to this, though as my car hasn't been driven since I put them on.

    Yet another tire and rim question...

    I made a little wooden mock-up to test back-spacing and tire size. It turns out that, with a 275 series tire, I will have to have a 4 to 4.25" BS. 4" puts the outside edge of the tire perfectly in-line with the sides fender of the car and about 1/2" away from the leafs. Hmmmm. Maybe the...

    Help deciding on coil over conversion

    I've installed the TCP coilover in my '69 fastback and installation is a cinch. My wife was really disappointed that I spent that much money and was done in a couple of days. Build quality was really good. I can only look at it from the installation standpoint as I have not driven the car...

    Yet another tire and rim question...

    I contacted Newstalgiaweheels and gave them my situation. They responded very quickly by saying that there was enough ID in the Boyd Smoothie 2s (what I asked for because the Torq-Thrust M's backspacing is too much) to clear the Baer Track system. I don't know about spoke clearance, though.

    Yet another tire and rim question...

    That's a pretty sweet site. So, basically, if I want to get all that power to the road, I'm going to need drag radials. Street Radials will always break free, but wider is still better. I can leesen the tendancy to smoke the tires by installing a low stall torq converter.

    Yet another tire and rim question...

    Another question: This time about engine power and tire size. With the classic stangs, If I have a 3.89 Rear, an AOD, and 275 or 285 series tires, how much power can I effectively get to the road with performance street tires? I mean, past 400 fwhp, is there a difference in traction between...

    Thanks. Actually, I looked up the tire specs on the Goodyear website. :doh: Now, I just have to puny up the bucks for the rims and tires.

    Yet another tire and rim question...

    I was looking at getting the American Racing Torq-Thrust M for my 69 Mustang in the 17 x 9 size, 6" backspacing and outfitting them with either 275 or 285/40/17s Goodyear F1 GS-D3s on the rear axle. The axle will be outfitted with the Baer Track disc brakes (on order), the fender lip rolled, and...

    You're trying to solve for X in terms of the other variables, or are trying to solve for every variable?

    Question: When running the return line, does it have to be the same size as the pressure line or can it be smaller? 1/2" pressure line and a 3/8" return line?

    Cars Vs. Girls....

    I'm with you Bnickel. My wife told me the other day "You know, it probably would have been cheaper to buy a new 05/06 Mustang than your restoration. GREAT! NOW she tells me after I have untold pints of blood into this one, and it only going to get worse. Sometimes I feel guilty coming home...
