Help with 60 ft time

cjrulesdotcom · May 3rd, 2011, 10:25 PM

ive heard that for every tenth off 60ft time = 2 tenths off total et. anybody have any experience with this? i made a few passes a couple weeks ago and ran a 13.8@102 with a 2.2 60ft which was kind of dissapointing. ive got 3.55's and crappy street tires. im considering getting 31 spline axles, full spool, slicks and 3.73's. is the gear worth swapping?

MustangMatt96GT · May 3rd, 2011, 10:42 PM

were you having traction issues? if so then swapping to a steeper gear will hurt without tires...

I would honestly suggest you look into some of control arms for the rear. Adjustable is the way to go, but alot of people don't know how to set them up. Baseline Suspension has a very good explanation.

But on average .1 in the 60 foot, does drop nearly 2 tenths in the top end, but it can change.

slicks problem solved

cjrulesdotcom · May 3rd, 2011, 10:51 PM

yeah im not getting any traction thats why im wanting slicks and axles. ill check out baseline i never really thought to get adjustable control arms i was just going to get the normal aftermarket ones.

cjrulesdotcom · May 3rd, 2011, 10:52 PM

what about the gear though? im shifting into 4th within what seems like 100 ft before finish. im not sure how much difference there is in 3.55's and 3.73's

MustangMatt96GT · May 3rd, 2011, 10:53 PM

youll be in 4th way before that

93hatch · May 3rd, 2011, 10:56 PM

with the 3.73's? because thats what im aiming for. it just seems like a pointless shift right now.

oh man haha. i guess ill go for it. just seems really scetchy i dont have c clip eliminators either

MustangMatt96GT · May 3rd, 2011, 11:14 PM

me enither.... sllicks are easier on axles though, because they give some rather than drag radials.

cjrulesdotcom · May 3rd, 2011, 11:19 PM

awesome im gonna buy them then. hopefully i can get into the 12's i feel like thats a more respectable time

93hatch · May 3rd, 2011, 11:23 PM

isnt it the other way around?

93hatch · May 3rd, 2011, 11:29 PM

drag radials dont flex=shock
slicks flex=absorbs the shock

Hey stop down at Mike's shop and he can talk you in the right direction. Dayton Performance. Super guy to deal with and he wont feed you a line of shit! Ive been 10.90s on stock axles and twisted a few off on slicks. Not a real good idea to trash a car for a $300 set of good axles and some c clip eliminators.

draggin50 · May 4th, 2011, 02:19 AM

You going this thursday if the weather holds out?

flattusmaximus78 · May 4th, 2011, 08:08 AM

None adjustable suspension is pointless. Atleast if the track is shit you can work with it. Not with non adjustable.

I agree. C-clip axles and slicks are a problem waiting to happen.

You definitely need to work on your traction because I was pulling off a 2.1 60ft in my mostly stock 94 and I have the slips to prove it.
