This was a stick shift car on street tires. It's hard to believe.

Cool vid, but would like to know what other mods are done to the car, hard to believe it picked up 4 tenths with just LCA's.

 

Thanks Melissa!

Cool video. I wish they showed the baseline run though.

 

a virt in high 12's? w/ a 2.2 60?
A burn out? On street tires?



FWIW last Friday nite I ran a similar 8.60 @ 82.xx on a 2.0 60. ONLY mods are JLT/tune and 4.10's.

I have no doubt that the stiffer LCA bushings and lower aft mount point help dramatically but I think they really should be honest about having used DR's after the LCA install.

I'll probably buy them anyway just because of the aft relo

 

I was there - they were regular street tires!

 

Don't mean to beat a dead horse but why the long smokey burn out?

And was this virt in high 12's before the LCA's? Got the MPH?

Again don't take it the wrong way. This is the interweb. Nobody believes anything.

 

Okey... Dokey....
I too believe about 1/4 what I read on the internet.
Without a real before and after that video is worthless.

 

But the interweb is absolutley the most accurate thing EVER....
Nothing could possibly be wrong in the interweb thing. Nope, not ever.
Joking aside I have NO doubt that better lower control arms and relocation brackets will help 1/4 miles times a lot as the factory LCA's a re pretty flimsy and DO cause wheel hop. The angles are also all wrong for drag racing.

 

I get alot of hop in 1st not so much any where else. Sure it helps in the 1/4 though as the tires stay on the ground better and shouldn't chirp as much in 2nd/3rd

 

I haven't had a chance to shake her out seriously yet - but I just installed BMR LCAs and relo brackets this weekend.

With the blower, before I would always worry about total wheel spin on spirited or hard launches. All the time.

I haven't gone ***** out yet but the past two nights I have done somewhat hard launches and rolling launches at like 5 mph in 1st on an open street and whereas before I got tire spin, now she squats and GOES.

I can't wait to do more testing but considering how much I used to spin, I can definitely see this set-up doing wonders......

 

BMR knows what they are doing, but i don't think an 8.6 run in the 1/8 makes for a 'high 12'. Nice kit though.

oh and the stang gang says hi, melissa

 

Considering weight only:

Are the aluminum billet LCAs much lighter than the steel tubular type chromemoly LCAs (i.e. Steeda)?

And are the tubular LCA's lighter than the stock lca's?

 

YES

for SURE

 

I think I saw that pass at Irwindale it was sometime ago. When I saw the car it had street tires, but i seriously doubt it will do a 1.7 60' without a power adder and tires.

 

8.6 x 1.55 = ~13.33 et..not quite a high 12 run.
