Subframe connectors. That should be the first suspension mod done to these cars. And while you're under the car welding, do the torque boxes too.

1slo5.0 · July 6th, 2009, 12:23 PM

Thru floor frame connectors for sure. Are you putting a roll bar or roll cage in the car? If so then do the frame connectors and roll cage at the same time. It makes everything alot easier.

88-gt-t-top · July 6th, 2009, 01:01 PM

Agreed, on the torque boxes I'm surprised no one recomended them with the peices you bought... And what about a motor or tranny? I don't remember reading anything about that yet?

fs308 · July 6th, 2009, 01:19 PM

no cage i dont think the car will be fast enough to need one. no motor and tranny yet. im wanting to get everything underneath the car squared away first

superbean · July 6th, 2009, 01:55 PM

man, with that much suspension work, even a modest motor setup should get you close to needing a cage.

where are you from sleeper?

fs308 · July 6th, 2009, 03:38 PM

KY.
i thought you needed a cage if you run a 11.49 or faster? i wouldnt know what to think if it ran that fast.
i mean a stock motor is what 190rwhp? and then 2700lbs race weight it would be nice. i can already hear the BS comments coming if thats the case

baine21225 · July 6th, 2009, 04:48 PM

do the subframe connectors and tq box reinforcements next

superbean · July 7th, 2009, 02:46 AM

hmm didn't know you were planning on using the stock motor, I thought I saw some aftermarket pistons and crank.. so i assumed you were building the motor.

No way in hell a stock 5.0 will hit 11.49 LOL Maybe with a very generous nitrous setup

its a stock crank and the pistons are so i can rebuild a motor. its just a fresh stock motor i can try to take pictures of assembly that way when the non believers start calling bullshit i can throw those up

oh yeah i'm going wednesday to talk to a local fab shop about installing through the floor subframe connectors and doing my torque boxes

superbean · July 7th, 2009, 12:37 PM

hell yeah, keep us updated

flattusmaximus78 · July 7th, 2009, 02:05 PM

what? did you forget some words?

coreyflipp · July 7th, 2009, 04:10 PM

Do you still have that 255 crank for sale?

88-gt-t-top · July 7th, 2009, 05:45 PM

without the motor tranny fuel cell, i'm sure you know all this, you're going to be setting up that suspension twice it seams. But another question... are you planning on running stock heads, cam, etc.? Just seams like with you going all out on susp. maybe you want to spread the loving to the "heart"? just wondering... Great build though, I'm not trying to take away from it in any way.

superbean · July 8th, 2009, 01:57 AM

screw 1/4 times. I want to see 1.2 60 ' :p

fs308 · July 8th, 2009, 12:39 PM

well as soon as i get my interior pulled out, seats, and the sound deadening the car is heading to the fab shop for through the floor subframe connectors, torque boxes welded up. and a chromoly tubular support

flattusmaximus78 · July 8th, 2009, 01:00 PM

No I didn't.

fs308 · July 13th, 2009, 12:41 AM

i have been talking to some of the serious racers and some who race in the Factory stock class. One of them thinks that my car when complete should run low 11's and others think that it will run mid 11's all day long. This is NA and with a stock motor!

flattusmaximus78 · July 13th, 2009, 08:16 AM

stock hci.... I don't think so. Go prove me wrong though.

fs308 · July 13th, 2009, 01:34 PM

to be honest i dont have the experience to argue with them but it seems rather difficult for me to grasp also
