i just went back to the post i put up and got really confused too.... i think that I put it up in the wrong topic

 

Can't wait till race season opens:

 

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looking for 10s?

 

Ported blower and a trip to Murillo Motorsports and I'll be in the 10's

 

Hope you arent planning that on the stock IRS? What suspension setup and tires you planning on running?

 

Pullied blower, 30x15 slicks and skinnies and a few small things and you will hit 10s, (a computer tune and a MAF and such. Sounds Sweet. 4.56 Gears and a solid rear with a 9 inch is your best bet. Hey Scott, MM&FF has a cobra that ran a 9 somethin on stock IRS and Stock 6 speed.

 

What is a good rear end to use for drag racing? I am having some problems with the rear end on my car and eventually it will need to be replaced.

 

most cars will be just fine. just add gears upgrade the tractionlok and add 31 or 33 spline axles and c clips. and you are set. only the big dogs upgrade to a 9inch rear

 

Yeah, even some of the "vintage" guys are wanting to tap into using the 8.8 rear ends.

 

Yeah.. MM&FF has maybe shown one running a 9... but he wont do it to many times in a row. The IRS is not a piece that was designed to take hard abuse from heavy launching. I've seen guys break a half shaft on a street tire launch at the track and on the street.

 

agreed with scothew. half shafts arent designed for applications such as that; in comparison to a solid rear axle.

 

Yah, nice c/t scott. I am with you on that one, just wanted to make sure u knew it could be done. 8.8 with C clips and 4.10s with 33 spline moser or Strange axles and a FRPP Posi in it.

 

I knew it could be done.. just not on a consistent basis.

 

Hi guys. I dont have a dedicated drag car, since I'm only a student trying to finish college. But when I have the opportunity I visit the track. My car is a nitrous injected 91 LX. For more info go to the link on my signature. Here is a pic a friend of my took at the track, the only day I tested with slicks. The car was having problems and only ran a 12.42 @ 110, but I'll be looking for better times soon

 

This is a friend's car. I think it is the fastest 306 mustnag in Puerto Rico. It has ran a best time of 9.32 @ 143 mph. And soon will be upgrading to a 347.

Scott, I broke my first and only halfshaft in Bowling Green at the NMRA finals in 03. :bang: I did the swap to a live axel just a couple months after that. I have no worries anymore about stuff in the rear breaking apart like I did when I drove with the IRS.
