but that is budget suspesion work. drag springs front with cheap monroe struts and lowering springs in rear with cheap monroe shocks. but its all in your 60 ft if you dont have much power.

you snapped an axle but had 60 issues?
you went 12.2 on a built motor and on juice?
and drag suspension but wanting highway?
ORIGINAL: Obsol3te

Low compression 331 stroker(for future boost), AFR 185's, 224/232 .555/.565 112ยบ cam, edel performer rpm upper/lower, 75 shot(soon to be a 150), 4.10's(stepping down to 3.55's so I'm not spinning the engine crazily over peak and I dont want a taller tire). 26x10.5 ET Streets, hmmf and some other here n theres.
Doing almost a full suspension change this spring.
Best time last year with the bone stock rear aside from gears: 12.2 trapped 113 that pass, but regularly trap 116.
Uhh, couldnt get my 60's down with the new power that year, ended up snapping an axle.
And about going to a steeper gear, I want better highway, I plan on running a nice amount of boost later on(15+psi) and 4.10's would be a bit short without a massive tire.

Expecting deep 11's this year with new suspension and drivetrain ****.
We'll see.

I thought the drag springs lifted the front a little bit? You car looks lowered, did you use a coil over setup?

We'll see.
It's not going to be an all out drag suspension.
Coil overs, some not-so-stiff springs up front, and adjustable struts.
Tubular a-arms to finish off that nonsense, upper/lower rear control arms(finally) and 31 spline axles/carrier.
It IS a daily driver, so dont give me that ****.
And I know if you do claim you have this wealth of knowledge about everything.
You'd know ET Streets take forever to break in.
And guess what happened when I snapped an axle?
I guess they were starting to hook[8D]
4.10s+4500rpms+420rwtq+traction=no more axle.

This year I will be able to take advantage of my power.
And like I said, it's a daily driver and I'm not going for the most aggressive setup, but it will be deep 11's
