    shift points/rpm

    what rpm does everyone shift at the track. i'm looking at my dyno results and the horsepower drops off at 5100 rpms, and the torque drops off at4200 rpms. where should i shift. 5100 i''m guessing. any longer and i'ts not beneficial being that the horsepower is falling. am i correct in my thinking?

    line lock install

    i myself like to live and learn, but sometimes you end up breaking parts that are more expensive than the one your installing. but i still would rather do it myself than pay someone.

    line lock install

    i don't know why the line lock wouldn't work with an automatic. i know that it's hard to heat up my bfg dr's with a 5 speed without killing my back brakes.

    Styling Bar or Roll Cage

    no, i've never been to island dragway. where is it. ny i'm assuming. i think the first time you run that fast, they will check your car and tell you that you cannot run under 14. then they will throw you out, but i'm not exactly sure, i'm just guessing. they didn't throw me out when i ran 13.66...

    Styling Bar or Roll Cage

    it definately depends on the track and what rules they follow. englishtown raceway park in nj definately follows nhra and you cannot dial in under 14.00 with a covertible and no roll cage.

    Styling Bar or Roll Cage

    if you bracket race, they will not let you dial in under 14. i think the rule changed that you can run time trials under 14, but you can race.

    Styling Bar or Roll Cage

    i'm contemplating the same thing but i am leaning towards the roll cage because i like to race and the car already runs 13's and i'm sick of dialing in at 14 and sandbagging. does anyone have pics of roll cages in a vert. the kenny brown looks descent and does not compromise the driver and...

    nitto dr's vs bfg dr's

    ok luke, i guess your like a mustang jedi cause you've been racing for 10 yrs. i'm not a wuss, just concerned about the fit. i am getting the bfg's, just wish they made a little narrower tire to fit on the 17 by 8 rim. the tire call for at least 8.5 or 9 inch rim so thats why i was concerned...
