RE: What does it take to make the front end come up.
what kind of susp. tho guys? I had southside lowers and she bit like crazy. what other stuff should you have? 90/10s and 50/50s? could you use 4 cyl springs in the back instead of the v8 springs or should you get a set of drag springs? do you have to have upper control arms? I am curious about this subject too.

2 yards of broken asphault in the back and launch at 3k on a backwards roll , i got almost 1 foot off the ground that way
seriously, 4.10's on a full slick, no weight dumped off, 5500 launch will yank 6"

So how do u launch at 5500 I mean Isnt that close to redline... Or is that the goal to launch close to redline and hook so when the rpms fall itll be in a fair power range?

you want to launch as high as you "safely" can while still hooking
stock axles will (sooner or later) break on 5k launches
i like cheaters for the fact that you usually break loose b4 you will break an axle.
but yes, you got it

Im debateing on a Built t5/or tko vs a built Auto.. It will be for street mainly with maybe 20% strip. Can Manuals still hang with this kind of abuse.. Assumeing Built.
Now someone list a good suspension setup that will HOOK on a budget?
