    TORQUE BOXES!!

    what i did was weld up my stock seams, and installe UMI performance upper and lower torque box reinforcements. I drilled mine and bolted them in then back welded em. That way I'm sure it will stay where it's suppose to. I plan on launching my car pretty good in Factory Stock on BFG drag...

    how much HP does it take to go 121 mph?

    well I didn't mention, this particular combo isn't totally stock! It prolly has lightweight internals in the bottem end, shaved heads, good valve job and no telling what kinda light components internally in engine, trans, and rear end. but still....thats hauling tail!

    how much HP does it take to go 121 mph?

    I came up with 407 hp....but I was quickly told I had no clue what hp it took to run that speed! driveline loss is between 10-15% depending on factors (type of car, type of driveline etc. I.E. if its race driveline it should loose 10% rather than 15%). anywhich way you do it 410 or 407 hp minus...

    need 165R 15's for my skinnys!

    didn't know you ran road race. That's pretty cool in itself. I just don't have the funds for tires for a class like that. Plus once I paint up this drag car...if I'm lucky, then it won't need any body repair for a long time (hopefully). It's always good to draw information from as many people...

    valveing in the stock 1991 Ford supplied Struts?

    I was just curious, what was the stock valving in the stock ford supplied front struts on a mustang GT in 1991? how much would that change with 15 years of wear....they are not leaking and I need to get some track testing done soon. I guess you could say I'm getting a little impatient! Jack
