Mastering the art of the S197 3 link suspension (sixty foot)

[jroc07gt]

Two quick question while on this topic... first, I have CHE Relocation Brackets waiting to be installed, do they HAVE to be welded or will I be just fine just having them bolted in? Second question is, when swapping back to stock springs (I have CHE LCA's, Steeda Adj. UCA, UPR Adj. Panhard), what setting's should I use for my D-Specs (with 17" ET Streets on the rear and 20s on the front)? Thanks guys, just trying to hook by spraing out of the hole

welded

Best 60ft is a 1.71, but my average was 1.8 to 1.9 until my clutch started slipping.

I've purchased a new clutch and some sticky tires. Hoping to improve my times.

I witnessed this with my own eyes. This is not bull-shit, but the gods honest truth. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen the run and then the time slip. The track was NASTY STICKY and the air was awesome. That was a fun night!

so, i'm assuming that run was 2 to 3 tenths faster than any other previous run as well

.1 in the 1/4 is going to give at least .2, so, you should be .2 to .3 quicker than any other run you've made, especially since it's an auto

both Brn N Rubr and Mustang1200's cars are stick shifts

thought it said 2800to3200 stall, my bad,

regardless, the pass should have been 2 to 3 tenths quicker than any other previous best e.t.

Yes, that was hands down the fastest pass of the night. 11.7@116. I was impressed.

sounds legit to me then

 

[weeloGT]

still torn if i need to relocal brackets before hitting the track or not, being lowered on a pro kit has my angle off, but it seems to hit hard on the street, dont see why it would be worst on the track, really dig seeing what everyone is posting up in here

So your fastest time is a 12.7 with a 1.60 sixty foot? with 305hp? something doesn't seem right here
