I would do lowering brackets and single adjustables. Also, have someone video your car on launch and when you are going down the track. You don't want the body of your car coming down when you launch. You need to be able to stiffen the rear shocks up. Slicks, single adjustables, and lowering brackets would make a huge difference.

Relo brackets are on the list. Just not sure if they will fit with ground clearence with sportslines. When i went out it was either bog off the line or spin a bit. May have to play with tire pressure more.
I was dumping the clutch rather than slipping and the best 60ft was letting go at 3900rpm.

dont remember the band or name. i CAN tell you they are not name brand and i could bet they are calling it s27lb but probably arnt hitting that. however being 7 hole the atomization should be better. i think i found them ..to be honest...ebay all blue casing like the 39lbs ev6. personally unless your on a budget like i was just stick with a known brand with warranty
Appreciate the info!
Was curious since you said they were 27lb injectors w\ 7-hole nozzles thus the ask for info on them to assist me w\ lookup of specs.
I'm currently using Ford Performance M-9593-24A injectors (the purple 24lb w\ the improved 6-hole nozzles) so not really looking to replace them unless the 7-hole nozzles gave enough of an atomization improvement to warrant consideration, thus my interest.

Thanks again for the info.

You are correct. Ill have to see. Im running 305/35 in the rear
I have pretty much the same height tire (275/35-19) and my FMS relocation brackets have a bit under 4" of ground clearance. They are the lowest hanging thing under the car but since they move with the suspension it's pretty much a non issue. We have some seriously shitty roads here in Northern Alberta and while my exhaust has some scrapes in it, the relocation brackets look like new.

You have mods but most of them do nothing for rwhp.

He has 315rwhp & 324rwtq but the torque curve drops like a ski slope from 4000rpm (where he has 320rwtq) to 3000rpm (where he has only 265rwtq) thanks to the Hot Rod cams. I think the tuner might need to correct the WOT cam timing tables to the correct specs 'cause he should have more torque in that 2500-4000rpm mid-range.

With a combination of 4.10 gears and traction mods, he should be able to run deep in the 12s.

i did get rid of the k&n for a jlt 3 and a bunch of other things if you check my sig.
i changed tuners and the car feels a lot better havnt gotten it back on a dyno or at the track yet to check how much better. i can tell you though on the old tune i found out after installing my wideband the car was stupid lean and all over the place. fluctuated as low as 16 and as his as 20-21 rapidly. this new guy has it settled at 14.3-15.1 wot i think was set for 11.5 and yes i know some of the things dont help much with rw numbers but throttle response is still a benifit i want. plus these things will add up when i eventually go boosted.

Gotta cut the bottom hole off. No need for it anyway.
Cutting the bottom part of the bracket off might work if I really wanted to use a drive through car wash that bad. When I tried to use the lowest hole I had break hop like I have never felt before.

making progress everyone. I have had time to toss on a couple other small goodies and I finally got on another dyno. comparing the two (old and new tune) the new one picked up all the way from 2k rpm to 5krpm. equal at 6. so with the gains on this new tune and the other goodies I know i can do better next time.

The opposite of wheel hop is...brake hop. Skwerl sliced off bottom of each of his BMR LCA relocate brackets.... just a hair above bottom hole..then painted. He posted pix of it. It's really not required. Hit a speed bump...and entire axle will rise..taking the lca relocate brackets along with the axle.

Where it may well be a possible issue is if using 275-40-18 tires on a 18x10 rim... and have a flat rear tire. I measured it... and it appears the LCA would barely clear the ashphalt. If a 17" rim was used, it would be worse. If a 15" rear rim used...and huge sidewalls, the LCA would hit the ground..(flat rear)

I swapped the rears to 305-35-19 on 19x10 rims.... non issue.

But.. the weight difference in the 19 inch wheel vs the 15 inch is a issue... lighter weight 15 inch wheels and tiresmake a big difference in 1/4 mile times vs a set of big heavy 18's or 19's

working on improving the 60ft guys. i am swapping eibach sportslines for a set of cj springs, I have an adjustable uca comming, and plan on getting lca relo brackets and 4.10 or 3.90 next spring. replacing the 305/35 tires with some 305/40 or 45
plan on other goodies too if the budget is there.

Can you post the two dyno sheets side by side?
