Project: POS

flyin ryan · July 13th, 2009, 01:51 PM

so I didn't read the thread but skimmed through and it looks like you have:

coupe being stripped down for weight savings... manual steering, tubular k, tubular arms, coil over, cc plates, bump steer, control arms and anti roll bar.

so your basically sitting right now the same as my daily driven 88 hatch except I have a stock motor/heads/cam but with bbk shorties, o/r x pipe, mac catback, tremec 3550 trans, pro5.0 shifter, fms alluminum ds, prothane poly motor/trans mounts, nitto 555r 245/50/16 dr's on draglite 16x8 xp's with stock 3.08 gears in the rear.

I haven't ran my car at the track yet but have ran a friend with a 90gt who runs consistent 12.60's and I hung with him shifting my ass off lol so i'd have to say with a manual trans i'd say high 12's from personal experience.

you really need to get the subframes done.. you don't need the through the floor type even though they are the best. Just the full length ones will yield a big difference but if you have the money and the time go for it.

Just because they have experience with suspension, drag racing, or fast cars, doesn't make the difference. Words are words, until proven other wise. I mean thati n a nice way, don't take that wrong. My friends fox has a pretty good suspension set up. 222 whp 280 tq and he does 12.70's all day. I think his mph is low as can be though.

even from what you all are saying i will hit my goal of 12.99. id be more than happy with that. as far as backing it up i guess time will tell just have to wait so i can finish the car

There are guys running 10.90s with stock unported E7 heads, etc. I think FS cars need to weigh 3200+ pounds too. The combination matters.
