With my first combination, I ran a
[email protected] on Nitto Drag Radials and stock
suspension using 3.55 gears. I don't have the timeslip to see what my 60' was, but I remember it not being stellar. Perhaps, it was a 1.9 at best. In fact, I know Tony Defeo went 13s in a stock fox body coupe on factory gatorbacks at 98 mph in the article "Five Liters of Fury" from cars illustrated. For you, at 3 mph less, I have to believe 13s are easily possible with a decent launch. Also, your 2000 ft DA is costing you about 2 mph.
I can't speak to how anyone else has done it, but for me to go 1.83 on a stock sized Eagle GT, it took 4.10 gears, 270 rwhp, and the following basic
suspension stuff:
"Lakewood traction bars," which just look like LCAs to me, but I don't know the difference
BBK Uppers
Lakewood 50/50s in the rear
Rear B-Springs (but stock fronts... makes the car look like the back is sagging, but I suppose helped keep some weight back there on the launch).
When I ran that time, I had a look around in several mustang forums, and did not find anyone else who got that time or better out of stock sized street radials. Granted, I don't think too many people bother to do all of that
suspension and gearing stuff just to run stock radials, but I was just curious.
That said, those stock street radials didn't hook worth a damn on the street. 1st gear could rarely stick the power, even rolling into the throttle. 2nd gear sometimes broke loose, too. Powershifting from gear to gear broke the tires loose for a bit on every shift. It was a hell of a lot of fun, though!
A third combo I had with stock
suspension and 4.10 gears and about 320 rwhp went 1.9s on Nittos. I believe I cracked into the 1.8s a couple of times. So even with more power and the same gear, it wouldn't hookup like the car with street radials at the track. I guess
suspension parts work. Of course the track conditions were different, too.
