Forcefedhatch Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Well.. this past year I finally got the car to the track full weight with me in it is setting at 3540lb.. mods are*3.73 gear *rebuilt Trac-loc w/cobra carbon fiber clutch packs *walbro 255 fuel pump *J-mod on the trans*full exhaust (shorty headers,2.5"bbk off road H-pipe,flowmaster super 44's,2.5" tailpipes to 4"tips)*gt40p heads*comp dual springs w/10* locks and retainers*Explorer intake *cold air intake*bbk FPR *H&R super sports.*new prothane bushings throughout 100% of the suspension *new motor and trans mounts as well*comp cams magnum series double roller timing set*drilled and slotted rotors w/hawk pads*18x9 and 18x10 bullitts w/255's up front and 295's out backThe car ran a best of 14.69 in the quarter at nearly 97mph,crappy 60ft,crappy launch.. but i am on a mission to kill 1 full second on the same tires.. then I will know 12's can be just a set of slicks away...TimeslipThe video..http://youtu.be/zgegXkYfzkAOk just an FYI nitrous or any other power adder is not an option,this is a bet I have going. LolWhat I am allowed to do, timing changes (on distributor), more bolt ons,and weight reduction.. so that's the route I'm hitting lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

64bit_Tuning Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 how serious are you about this. because your current suspension (or lack of) is your biggest issue. Not to mention the stock HO cam is mediocre at best. Also, what are you running for a tune? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcefedhatch Posted November 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 No tuning allowed for the bet. Only timing changes at distributor and pressure at the fpr are the only changes allowed to be made.. suspension will be stock springs rear with 1 coil cut and a drag bag,as well as fox 4 cyl front coils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deceptive gt Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 What kind of tires? I would expirement with air pressure, launch RPMs, and heating the tires. There are small things you can do for weight savings without making the car unbearable. Do a tune-up, ice the intake, anything else anyone can think of. Last is practice.

Forcefedhatch Posted November 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Absolutely!! And thank you.. didn't think of air pressure and heat cycling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64bit_Tuning Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 you desperately need to ditch those 18's, get some weight out of the car, and make some intelligent changes to the suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcefedhatch Posted December 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Yeah I have a set of big and littles I will use with slicks for later next year.. and suspension is being changed up and tad, but the bet is to hit it on these tires.. and I aim to do it.. especially before I fab another turbo kit or blower setup.. or whatever.. but for now.. I aim to take this one head on lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forcefedhatch Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Well picked up a 76mm c&l maf and intake setup cheap!,as well as a 70mm TB to accent it all off well.. now hopefully the port work will possibly be worth it all,had to get rid of the bottleneck in the intake setup! Anything helps I suppose lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forcefedhatch Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 I have decided to possibly do away with the underdrives, the temp and all are good, but the voltage gauge bounces if under 900 rpm.. and get super low.. so.. I may just throw the stockers back on and roll with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may just throw the stockers back on and roll with them Just pull the pulley off the alt and replace with the stocker if your worried, leave the crank and wp underdrives on it.

Forcefedhatch Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Well.. picked up 12 ft of 1x2 1/8" tubing, and 2ft of 2x2 14g tubing, making subframes in the spring from scratch, full seam welding.. . Also thanks to @The Mk2. I've got a set of eibach drag launch springs coming as well.. should have a nice bonus check from work as well.. this will purchase a set of drag radials for it.. unless I find a big and little setup pretty reasonably priced.

Forcefedhatch Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Well started the weight reduction stuff,got the old springs go out. Also possibly trading my bullits for a set of satin black termi wheels with drag radials.. if so.. huge score!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcefedhatch Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Well.. got the wheels and tires.. Fronts are 17x9 with 275/44's rears are 17x10.5's with 315/35 nitro dr's.. will need new dr's.. but there's a few passes left in em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forcefedhatch Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I can, but I welded plate to mine, and did full poly bushings throughout the whole car.. I'm going to see how it hooks up, if it still has trouble then I'm going to go with some new ones and relocate the uppers... as of now I still need to fab up the subframe connectors and weld up and reinforce the torque boxes.
