Car plans for over the winter
 

So heres wahts going on guys... im sick and tired of street tires and WEAK launches... so here it goes... over the winter the ta is getting some upgrades

-Moser 12 bolt
-3.5 ALUM. driveshaft
-DS LOOP
-Racetronix fuel system
-TNT shot upped to 125
- ET DRAGS

right now i have a good portion of the cash saved up, so hopefully if everything goes as planned (no unexpected problems where i have to spend money) i should have the REAR and fuel system in by march, after that the new driveshaft and et drags will come ( ill run on the BFG drag radials i have in the mean time)

so waht do you guys think? i hope to go somewhere in to the 11's

About freaking time 8)

I'm a complete noob when it comes to racing, but... what do street tires have to do with the list you put up there? Just curious.

he's afraid of breaking the stock rear by using slicks, so he's sticking with street tires, which are far from optimal for traction.

huh? looks to me as if hes going to a 12 bolt and slicks

what gears are you planning to run?
sounds like a winning combo as long as you make teh mechanical end of teh suspension work with you. i wouldn't go any bigger than a 26x9.5 slick on any car running 10's or higher.

id say run at least 4.10 if not 4.30 gears depending on your plans.

im gunna go with a 3:73 or 4:10 i havent decided yet.. at the end of the summer a small cam is planned as well

from 3.42's to 3.73's is like nothing especially with the 2.66 first gear id just go with the 4.10's if those are your options...you also say small cam...small cam meaning ls6 small or tr224 small or a ttp equilizer small? :lol: :twisted:

welll the equilizer will be in my car, its just a matter of time... for now i may do the 224 while its a daily driver, but as soon as its not, TTP equilzier here i come

**** mine was a dd'r with an auto & 2.73 gears....you'll at least have the gears & tranny to make it a decent dd'r...i say go with the big cam off the bat...just make sure its nitrous friendly :)
