zthis Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 guess i should have mentioned i smacked a 150 shot of NOS as soon as i rolled out. Run was made through the mufflers with a set of 235/60 Mickey Thompson ET street Radials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zthis Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 Can you share the suspension setup advice by any chance? a 1.553 60' would do me just nicely! Dave here's what i used to go from a 2.2 60ft to 1.5 (with NO motor changes) 1. Sticky tires (235/60 Mickey T. ET street radials) 2. changed from 3.55 to 3.90 gears 3. limit front end rise (chained front end so that there's only 3 inches of upward movement bolted chain to hole for sway bar end link and to cross member.) 4. Used rubber spring booster/savers in the back to make sure the suspension can't go past the point side axles are parallel with the pavement. 5. Remove front and rear sway bars ALL of these modifications make for bad highway driving so be carefull 400+HP is a big help also Good Luck Curtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnjdragracing Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Hey Curtis, We went from a 3.90 to a 3.55 and picked up a better 60ft. We left the rear sway bar in, was not hurting anything. Since you have it down now, try the 3.55 and see what it will do. It might surprize you. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John[/quote'] I was thinking the same thing the car was crossing the line at 7200rpm on 150 shot of NOS so i plan to up the NOS and change back to the 3.55 when the air gets cooler in late September see if i can't get a few more tenths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
