Bogging. Need to improve my 60'

[07graygt]

If you are lowered which I think you said you are if get the relocation brackets too. But that's a good start!

 

[Hotrodder]

Those are also on the list. Aside from going crazy with all tubular up front and chassis braces and the whole 9, I don't see any other need for suspension mods but I'm always open to hear what you guys with more experience have to say about that. I figure I'll see what I can do with all this for this year and then just ride it out for a while until the motor or something lets go and then I'll set a new time goal and have that fun haha. The cars got 72k miles now so it should last a while longer.

I just said 2-step. I dropped the idea of the MSD based on suggestions. I have to figure out more about the WOT box though since its Greek to me right now haha

Not to worry. It's all very simple. Just wire that sucker up and plug it into your laptop to set the parameters. I've got mine tucked just under the glove box so if I need to plug it back into the laptop, it's easily accessible.

The WOT Box is an awesome mod, its helped me out a bunch with launch and with shifting as well. its neat because you can set it to around 4500-5000 and then adjust it with a tap of a button in your glove box at the track if you find your spinning or bogging. Really helps the consistency...
as for wheels and tires..
15x10 sve drags with 275 M/T Radial Pros. These are the best all around tire for any car stick or automatic. Me and deathwishracer have both used them on our manual cars and love them. He has tried the et streets and et drags and could not get better then a 1.70 60 ft. cutting 1.50 with the radial pros. Bonus- they don't sway at all and will generally allow you to achieve more mph then a slick. You won't find a lot of people recommending this tire just because they simply don't know about it/how good it is. The ones who have ran it, well.. They'll never switch back..

 

[Bossmustang16]

also, removing the spare tire and jack and what not is a great way to lose weight without "Gutting anything" just throw the top cover back over it and you'll never miss it.

Nice list of parts. They are going to make a big difference. One thing I would suggest is to install them a few at a time. One of the things I did which I kind of regret is installing everything together. It's a lot more fun if you have the time and patience to do it bit by bit and see/feel the difference each one makes.

 

[fdjizm]

I have a habit of changing a few things at one time and never know which is the one that helped.
Last time I was at the track on the last run all of a sudden I bust out a 1.64 60 foot and had no idea what the hell helped from the tire pressure to the shock settings and launch RPM, but I recorded the settings after that lol.

lesson: one thing at a time!

 

[Hotrodder]

Most of that's installed already. It's just an overall list. I'm sitting at a 13.2 and 2.0 60 foot because I've only run on street tires and not that well to boot haha.

This round will install the one piece, short throw, WOT box, track tires and the rear suspension parts.

Just noticed the MGW on the list. That and the WOTBox are going to turn your world upside down.

 

[Hotrodder]

Haha I'm hoping it will be fun and give the effect of a good driver mod haha

Not only that, the wotbox actually saves your synchros from certain death.

 

[Hotrodder]

That's what I hear too. I'm looking forward to actually learning how to set the car up. I really wish I could write my own damn tunes because my bama tune is meh and I don't have 500$ for a dyno tune each time I change something.

Give Lito a shout. He'll hook you up. No need for a dyno tune and with a bit of datalogging you can be confident you're getting an excellent quality tune personalised not only for your car but also for your driving style at a reasonable price.

 

[Weou09]

Wot box is hands down the biggest help at the track for us 3 pedal meddlers..

 

[Hotrodder]

Good to hear the box is a great mod.

Lito?

Lito?

Manuel at Tudyno. He's a vendor here but well respected as one of the best tuners around for the 3v.

One of his specialities is remote tuning. Loads of high hp cars on this site were remotely tuned by him and many people would rather use him for a remote tune over a dyno tune. Have a search. His name crops up everywhere.

 

[Hotrodder]

Sweet I'll give hime a shout. Thanks

fwiw - most tuners will not charge you for a entire new tune if you're making modest changes

On top of that depending on where you are some may actually go to the track with you and tune off the logs. Henson the guy i use went with me and stayed 4 hours and all he asked was i pay his way and feed him. Unbelievable customer service for $450...
