Default Going to the dragstrip tomorrow, have a concern.

Going to the drag tomorrow with my 2002 Mustang GT 410rwhp 420torque. Here are my mods
Pro charger 13psi
Stage 2 Pro Charger intercooler
K&N air filter
Big Red blow-off valve
BBK - long tube headers
Flowmaster super 10 Mufflers
Welded subframe connectors
Eibach pro springs
Cobra fuel system
King cobra clutch
3.73 rear gear ratio
Green top injectors
Powerpipe intake elbow
Nitto 555G2 315 rear tires.
Trufiber cowl hood
Black background headlights
Pro 5.0 shifter. I had recently gotten the Nittos and when i try to burnoutmy wholecar shakes violently. Pretty sure its my control arms. If i try to burnout at the drag strip will it still do the same thing since the track is not gravel? Just dont want to embarrass myself. Thanks!

Gravel? ....You mean it's cement and not asphalt??
I would think that the care would behave the same way.Why wouldn't it?

I would get that violent shake when burning out issue fixed before racing at the track.

Yeah if you have wheel hop that bad I would want to remedy that asap. The stock lca's are largely to blame, and if the rubber bushings are worn/deteriorated (and they probably are) then I would look at it as an opportunity to upgrade. You should probably slide beneath the car and take a look for any obvious issues with anything first before jumping to any solid conclusions and ordering parts though.

Go back to the main page and scroll down to the Suspension subforum here. The thread right at the top, "The Official Suspension Guide" should help you sort out the good from the bad as far as what lca's you want to choose.
