RE: dropping front swap bar
well heres the thing my car is already set up for the twisties im running like 850lbs spings and larger front sway bar strut tower brace..... so it handles like a lotus lol but it doesn't hook for ****... i just want to do something quick before going down to run. as is i cant get better than like a 2.4/2.3 60' w/ new 275/45/zr17' g force tires.... all i want right now is to get in the 8's in the 1/8th mile, my best right now is a 9.4 w/ a 2.4 60' time at 78mph so yeaanyone know of some quick things i can do to lower my short time?

RE: dropping front swap bar
I have yet to run the stang, but in my old supra I had pretty good luck with lowering the tire pressure to around 20-25psi, doing a burnout and slipping the clutch out some at 4 grand. It also helped when I ran with 3/4 of a tank of gas or more vs under a 1/4 tank, the extra weight over the rear tires helped it hook.
I was able to cut 1.9 60's on 255 falkens like that.
what is your launching technique? also are you spinning just 1 tire? your lsd could maybe use a rebuild

You can beat upr as far as quality, but def. not the price.
