11.99 Bone stock suspension. Sup

sharkbait · November 20th, 2011, 11:33 PM

So i took the car to the track today.

Ran a 11.99 @ 113.9mph

Bone stock suspension (minus front sway bar) and 3.08 gears
With the rear end rebuilt with a higher ratio and upped boost i expect to run lower then 11.5 on the same setup.

Just wanted to throw that out there for anyone considering dumping big money into a suspension setup. Its good food for thought when considering how much you need for how fast your going.

Awesome Shark. Good run! I certainly won't argue with the stock susp theory!

Shaun03GT · November 20th, 2011, 11:50 PM

Nice man congrats, Im one of those guys that thinks the stock suspension capable of getting good ETs out of it. Ran out of time this year to use real tires and try it out.

BLUE91GT · November 20th, 2011, 11:52 PM

That's Awesome, Congrats!!!!

laoutlaw01 · November 20th, 2011, 11:54 PM

If mine didnt already have full suspension mods I would definantly have put the money somewhere else. But it was already on the car when I bought it . But I knew it was possible to run good times on stock setup.

jivepepper · November 21st, 2011, 02:06 AM

Awesome. I ran better 60's when I had a stock suspension. I was running 11.2's with a 1.65 60' and 17" dr's. Changed the rear comtrol arms and a upr K-member kit and it drop to 1.74-1.78. I have something screwed up.

bottled2v · November 21st, 2011, 07:09 AM

what was your 60'? while the stock setup isn't bad as long as you have good tires, you'd still get better times with more suspension mods.

still some good times tho man. I can see mid 11's with your setup with a few more tweeks.

JTs03v6 · November 21st, 2011, 07:53 AM

I agree, stock suspension will go a long way with a set of air bags in the rear springs.

joswo1980 · November 21st, 2011, 08:28 AM

If u think about it y would u change ur suspenision from stock unless ur car is just purely for strip??I can understand for autocross but 1/4s there really no point in wasting the money

brokenweasel · November 21st, 2011, 08:38 AM

Nice!

60 ft? Tires? I'm curious what the rest of the equation is.

zinc-vert02 · November 21st, 2011, 09:00 AM

good job shark

Its not wasting money. Launching a stalled auto on sticky tires is a lot easier then launching with a standard car.

mrbigjeep · November 21st, 2011, 12:37 PM

nice! suspension still benefits though. what was the sixty foot? i make similar power and cut in the 1.5x's. if you can get it down in that range you'll pick up even more.

Deff not wasted money, my car runs similar times in the 1/8th as S/C cars with 100-150 more whp than I do N/A. With the slicks im about to put on it it will be 7.8X range on motor, most S/C cars I have seen with near stock suspension and a bunch of power are only in the 7.99-8.40 range. Wasted money for someone who only goes to the track less than 2 or 3 times a year, yes.

mrbigjeep · November 21st, 2011, 12:41 PM

i agree. i'm pretty happy with my time for the power level and the times others are running!! plus i'm addicted. i like to run a lot!

btw, baz...when you goin to the track again? apparently quite a few people around here go to shady side and its not quite as far as i thought...

zinc-vert02 · November 21st, 2011, 12:44 PM

once i get my swap done ill spending more money on susp to get im the low 11s

saxmanJJ · November 21st, 2011, 01:37 PM

Nice run Sharkbait!

If you're only going to make one change to the suspension, change out the rear LCAs. They absolutely suck (the stock ones).

No I mean like the other stuff like drag springs and stuff, doesent that severley hinder ur streetabilty?? Better tires are always a giving no matter what the application

joswo1980 · November 21st, 2011, 01:47 PM

I'm more referring to if u only take it strip every once in awhile then y change it,? But if its a drag car then by all means
