say your stang run's a 12.50 with stock front and rear suspention parts and you change the front to coil overs and tubular front end, and the rear with nice parts also, how much of a e.t improvement nornaly does it pick up?

well the tubular kmember is gonna mainly take wieght off. the rear is where your gonna really. your main thing is gonna be your 60' time it almost depends on how good your hooking up right now. if you have a really lousy 60" like 220 or somthing i would say you could get some big returns but if your already hooking off the line i would say not that much.

If the spring rates and shock settling stuff isn't right on the money, you may go slower.
The Mopar I used to race had a suspension that was mostly stock but it was 'tweeked' with springs and shocks. Nothing fancy at all.
Car picked up about .25 on the E.T.
