1.460-1.480 consistent on a nicely prepped track
Tires: MT DR 275/60R15 18psi maybe 3-5 second burnout starting in second, shifting to 3rd then off the line lock when it hits 5000 rpm (100 ish mph). Weld alumastar wheels (15x8), MT sportsman skinny fronts
Front: QA1-R single adjustable on zero, tubular cheapy arms (gbody), taller upper and lower ball joints, all very well lubricated. Moog 5658 springs.
Rear: Rod end DA uppers, hr bushings on axle. UMI roto joint DA lowers. 3rd or 4th gen rear springs (WS6 i believe) non-variable rate. Once again well lubricated. Hellwig body mounted (pro-touring) bar on medium setting, pinion angle around -2 to -3
Brakes: Newly rebuilt stock brakes with ceramic pads... nothing fancy. Vacuum brake conversion.
Motor: TE60, 3250-3500 stall neal chance welded converter, TH400, roller cam 210-215
Technique: stomp the daylights out of the brakes. push down even harder as you start to build boost since your assist is going away... The car creeps a little bit at around 10 psi, I try to leave around 12. rpms are probably around 3600, but I don't look at them. did not have a working 2 step yet, so I will tweak that later. Get off the brakes FAST when you wanna go and put the skinny one to the wood as fast as you can. Can't go WOT on the foot brake...
thats sorta it. I keep scaring myself and shifting too soon, but that is after the 60' mark. It lifts the left front about 2-3 inches off the ground.
I think the car has more left even off the foot brake. we'll see next year.
Hopefully this helps someone! I'll admit, I like talking about my successes... I'm willing to help out where I can!
