it will be my 2nd time to the track with this car... but around my 40000 pass down the track.

as for spray... nope... got stiffed on the nitrous kit. long story but i got the money back and **** the post office.

Low 13's. I don't see you breaking anything. You might tear up a rear control arm but I bet you still make it home.

that one id like to see! if i do that im making some SERIOUS power. these arent the bushinged lowers. these are the pro adjustable lowers with a heim joint and solid bushing

I guess breaking the trans or an axle

25thmustang · Nov 14, 2011

Not sure what you might break. My set up is very similar. I had an issue with 2nd gear synchro back many years, and snapped a Ford Ranger axle. Other than that, I never have issues with parts breakage. Has the potential for 12s, but might not do so on the first outing.

axle is one im worried about for sure... if it breaks it breaks. i built it ill fix it.

Ha I missed that you had control arms. I hope they don't bind or they might rip the mounts

I had 130,000+ mile stockers last into the high 1.6x 60s' and only get removed to go 5-lug.

I had a pair of Ranger axles last 2.25 passes.

It's a crap shoot to say the least.

If I bind up a rear running heims I've done **** wrong... mounts are all welded and braced. Suspension is set up to go faster then the drivetrain...

Im hoping I can actually get a little wheel speed out of the hole and not dead hook it. Take a bit of shock out of the drivetrain

darthcual · Nov 14, 2011

Need that dead hook with no bog to get that 12 unless I'm seriously underestimating the power you're making. Have a friend get video if possible. I'd like to do something similar with my suspension.

buddy of mine just went 13.2 with a stock GT with 3.73s and exhaust... and full interior and no weight reduction... a lot of people underestimate what these cars can run

plus dead hooking will make it bog seeing how i dont have a ton of power.. getting wheel speed with those sticky ass tires will still be pushing me forward and keep the RPMS up. plus its hard on parts

25thmustang · Nov 15, 2011

I'm up in the air on dead hooking verse spinning a bit. My car liked a little tire spin. If it dead hooked the 60' suffered a bit. If it spun, it 60' and ran better.

I had another friend with a stock motored car that went in the 12.7s. His car had enough photos with the front tires just off the ground, that it was dead hooking, but still went better 60's than my car ever had.

Hard to say really.

90lxcoupe · Nov 15, 2011

dead hooking will def make it bog if the powers not there, im working thru that right now. last time at the track i yanked both front tires and only went 1.60 sixty

with a really tight track on slicks if we dead hook the coupe it will bog the car then blow the tires off it. doesnt have the wheel speed to carry the front...
