I'm trying to get an idea on what some new parts (by spring) will do for my ET at the track.

My best slip so far has been 12.75 @ 107.95 1.82 60ft with my best 60ft being 1.77

This is with Eibach Prokit spring, Mach1 shocks/struts, and 275/40/17 Nitto drag radials on chrome cobra R's.


OK, Suspension wise I just placed an order for a D&D K member from Brant Racing. I will also pick up adjustable drag shocks/struts, springs, A arms, and coilovers. The rear will have Eibach drag springs and adjustable shocks.


Wheels, For Christmas I "found out" from the woman I am probably getting weld draglites for the track. They are 15x3" for the front and 15x10" in the rear. I am looking to run ET streets on these.


I am also relocating the battery to the trunk.

What are each of these mods good for 60ft wise and ET wise?
What can I hope to run next season?

Thanks,
Eric

i see no reason why you you should not be able to pull low 1.6 sixty's with all that stuff maybe even a 1.58 or 9 the tires and wheels alone with help bunches as will taking all the weight off the front of the car if you can weigh your parts so we know how much you loose off the front

I will weigh everything for sure.
i'm thinking -30lbs off the front with the battery in the rear, -50 with the skinnies, and -60 or so with the k member and other goodies. Thats like 140lbs off the front. I ought to be able to lift a tire or two.

Do you have an aftermarket midpipe?

Not to steal your thread, but how hard is it to install the K-member and what do you have to remove to get it in?

You support the engine with a cherry picker from above. It's not supposed to be that difficult. I'll get it in there. I have mac longtube headers. I bought the K member from Brant Racing It is supposed to be like a 2 month wait time. Thats why I placed the order now becasue I want to install it Feb or March.

With that mph and a solid mid 1.6 60' I would say you could hit a 12.4 or so. Maybe even slightly faster. In my dads car I was solid 12.3s at low 108 mphs with mid 1.6 60's... If it hooks its all in how you drive it!
