60' Improvment guesses ?
Well, Sharad at UPR hooked me up and now I've got this sitting here. Pretty anxious to see how the car 60's with the 4.10's, torque converter and tubular front end with coil overs. Any guesses ?

It will not 60 any better than a 2.0 I've done everything i can and 2.0 is the lowest it will currently go, got the 3500-3700 stall converter to go in, full drag wheel setup, 4.10s and a tube front end.

Do all new mods get gifts like this lol. That's going to be a nice set up.
On your best 60ft, were there traction issue's or was that all she had with that setup?
I'd guess a low 1.6 also, being a new setup. Then dialing it into the 1.5's. It's going to be a lot of fun.

Well he hooked it up for sure, but I will be getting some nice install pics and info when I get around to it and post them up.
Traction wasn't an issue, I definitely got the drive mod by now. When I first started running the car I aired down way to much, was trying to footbrake it and do all sorts of stuff it didn't like lol, was going 13.80's with mid 2 second 60's. Obviously seat tim is the big thing and lets you learn. Aired back up and slowed aired down until it quit spinning then went up a pound or two so I'm set out back. pumped the fronts up real high and all that and quit foot braking and started flashing. All that made a big improvement and got my times from the 13.80s to 13.40's.
I've got big 18" wheels all the way around right now, 275's up front so I have lots of rotational mass im fighting. Now have some 17x4's for the front and 15x8's for the rear which should help, along with the other weight reduction and torque converter I think it'll see huge gains. Its just a slug out of the hole as it sits. Really needs the converter I think. It was running great come fall where tire pressure was almost a issue and you get that teeny tiny bit of spin but the car still moves out. That's when I had gotten my best times with the car.
