Default So I gave up on the 4.30's

New direction. Talked w/ a local speed shop owner I do business with and explained my situation. Gonna go w/ front coil overs, swap my Hoosiers on my car for the M/T et drags that are on my wife's, and see where that takes me. That should lower my 60' time right there. If that works out, then I'm gonna go to 4.10's and the 28" tire for more sidewall flex and hopefully a better 60' time.

aw man you should of stayed with the 4.30's, then again considering your car is s/c it is probably a good thing that you are only going to 4.10

Aren't you running like 117mph? My 60's are low 1.60s to high 1.50s and my trap speed is just under 114. My brother changed to coilovers on the front of his Mustangand it helped his a bunch.
