Suspension, 60' help

One_live95 · 04-14-2006, 05:14 PM

Well, i am curious as to what 60' times everyone here cuts, with what suspension, gear, and tires. I know it will be a broad coverage area of brands and parts, but i kinda want to get an idea of who runs what, it'll help if people list there experience/evaluation of what they are running as well.

my trip to the track i manage a best of a 1.98 60' with mach 1 rear springs, lakewood lift bars, stock uppers, stock shocks(still haven't put the tokicos on the rear), and some well worn nittos. Car would either spin real bad out the hole or after the rpms climbed high in first or second.., this with a 10-20 second burnout on the nittos to make sure they were hot.

Suspension imput for the Drag Application is welcome.....BFG of M/T DR's will be coming soon, hopefully before track day if the $'s permit

Low 1.6's is my best right now. Car is making enough power to cut 1.5's though.

3.73 gears on DOT Hoosiers. Aftermarket upper and lower control arms

Brian's tokicos do well

1.52 60' is my best, but the norm is around 1.55...all I have is a set of lakewood traction action lift bars, stock upper control arms...nothing else....I use a set of micky thompson et streets, 26x10.5/17

Kevin,

Have you ripped your torque boxes yet? For the longest time I ran stock uppers with hp motorsport lowers and it caused me to tear both torque boxes

One_live95 · 04-14-2006, 08:10 PM

so with some really sticky tires i should be able to cut the 60' times i want right? I think i will have some mickey thompsons here pretty soon, but don't know exactly when.

I think i have it worked out to borry a set of welds with bfg's on them for track day...maybe even the skinnies for the front

You need to get the front to come up and get it on the tires. Look more into the front end for now. Your parts in the rear sound OK (once you get the shocks on).

Our Stang has full UPR kit, 50/50, 70/30 front, 3.73 gear and C4 and cuts low 1.5's on motor.

My Hot Rod has adj. upper/lower, antiroll bar, 50/50 rear, 90/10 front, 4.10 gear, C4, and cuts mid 1.4's on spray.

My street car has all stock arms, KYB GR-2 in front, NAPA cheapo's in rear, stock 3.27 gear and AOD and cuts 1.85 all day.

All these cars run on MT DR's at the track.
