My car has delete plates, underdrive pulleys, JLT, magnaflow highflow cat x pipe, pypes axle back, 3.90 gears and a Roush short shifter. I went Alabama international dragway in Steele Alabama saturday and raced my car. My car only has 4400 miles on it and I was on the stock street tires that came on the car. My first pass was a 13.25 letting off because of wheel hop. I went again and it wheel hopped so I let off and ran a 13.40. I went the wrong way so I ran it again. This time leaveing not as hard and went a 13.12 with a 2.08 60 ft. I was pretty happy but then I thought I could get high 12's it I could leave better. I let the car cool off for about 1 hour and ran it again. I left at 1200 or so RPMs and it cut a 1.95 short time a 8.41@85 1/8 mile and a 12.97@107 1/4 mile. Now I can't wait till I get my suspension on and throw some slick on the car and go back and play.

I will post a pic of the slip tomorrow.

 

I have a similar setup, those are great times. I just ordered two items you might be interested in...
They should reduce your wheel hop.

$179.99 - $15 with Christmas code = $164.99 shipped.

 

Thinks I'm pretty happy with the car.

I already bought some BMR lower control arms with spherical bearing in the front and poly in the rear. Bought them used (about a 1000 miles) for 80.00 and I also already ordered the TMZ spherical bearing double adj upper. (126.00) (CJ pony parts) It should be in this week and I'm going to install them at the same time.

I also ordered the UPR subframe connectors. I thought it would be more to it than that. I may try to sell them and get me some more. I got them on sell. No way I would pay 100.00 for them. I got them for 66.00 from CJ pony parts. They might be worth that.

 

I think your going to find the spherical rod end are going to get noisy after a while.

 

any real feedback yet on those Roush LCAs? I am on the fence with those verses a poly set (like Steeda or CHE), but want to ensure they actaully work to reduce wheel hop.

And what's the "Christmas code" for the discount at AM??

 

Probably so. I wanted poly both ends but for what I gave for them I will settle for the spherical bearing. If it gets to loud I guess I will sell them and buy some more later. I think I will like them. Next I'm going to order the lower control arm BMR brackets. I first will see how I do with out them then go from there.

Now my goals are 12.70's on street tires. If I can get it to hook to where I can leave harder I think I can get there. Hopefully. If not I already reached my goals. High 12's on street tires. WOOHOO!!!!

 

Congrats on getting in to the 12s and let us know how you make out.

 

Great job, i am not embarrassed to say that my car has 54,000 miles on it and i have never taken it to the track. i should go sooner or later

 

Doin better than me, great driver mod!

And as far as the bearing goes, if it gets loud you can order another from Jegs or Summit pretty cheap.

 

Thanks guys. As soon as my boss gets back I will post up a picture of the slip. I have been dragracing since I was 13. I'm 28 now. This is my first brand new car I've ever bought and raced.

 

Heres the slip. Hope everyone can read it.

 

I need to learn this sub 2.0 60ft thing...
