I’ve been running the ATX12-24 for over 2 years now. The first year as a daily driver and this last year it’s been a weekend cruiser/drag racer. Car will sit for a couple weeks at a time sometimes and I do not use a tender, starts every time better than it did with a new OEM. I’m in FL so I...

Watch the vid, they did exactly what you just suggested they do in this post [emoji2359]

You will need the post style battery terminals, they are not included.

I’m still running stock struts up front so no adjusting there but definitely on the short list. Was your old car a manual trans car?

I had more anti-squat before and it was hitting the tires way too hard and would unload almost instantly. I have my LCA’s in the stock location now (parallel with the ground), where before they were in the middle hole. I still have plenty of room to stiffen up the shocks so I’ll be playing with...

I think it might be time for either a tire change (to an ET Drag) or a shock change (upgrade to Viking crusaders from the current Warriors) and adding adjustable struts with either. I’m going to try slipping the clutch a little next time to see if it will leave a little better.

Yep, both are on e85

Main mods are comp stg 3 cams, CJ manifold, 3.90’s and Lund tuning. Ran [email protected] last week.

From a dig or from a roll, it gets down [emoji846] Thanks for the props!

It is fun [emoji846] It’s the stock Gen 1 that could.

No, he’s a friend and we set it up. This is how we drive these cars on the street.

If I had to guess, it’s around 590-610 rwhp.

Had some great runs with my buddy who installed a nasty 7.0L in his SS. These runs were 40-130/135, we also did a run to 150 and I had about 2 cars on him (but my camera died [emoji53]) Both cars feature weight reduction (though I have the advantage still) and 3.90 gears. (Please excuse me as...

That was my original intention as well but ran into an issue during install of the lightened/polished gears... the company I purchased the base gear set from shipped a set of F150 FRONT axle 8.8 gears to IW who I had do the machine work. Really put me in a bind so they shipped me another set of...

I'm shifting at about 81-8200, shift light is set to 8k. I saw your reply in the other thread and you are correct, there is more left in the 60 foot, that's for sure. I made one more pass after this one but it got late and the track started to go away, still ran 10.84@128. Now I have some...

Went out in January with the new set up and ran some half decent numbers but I wasn't satisfied. I knew the combo desperately needed gears and some suspension tweaks. So I installed 3.90's to replace the factory 3.31's and made some suspension adjustments and it all seems to have paid off, still...

UPDATE: New gears, 28" tires and some suspension adjustments really helped! Went [email protected] this past Friday.

After driving the car for this last week, it feels completely different, going to work with the power range this car runs in perfectly I think. The gear splits changed a tad for the better, especially the split between 2nd and 3rd gear. Breaking the gears in for another week and I'll be testing...

I’m aware of what the car needs. With bolt ons it was bottom 1.5 sixty foots consistently and ran close to the same ET (with A LOT less Mph/power) but the way the car makes power now doesn’t work with the 3.31’s. I just put 3.90’s in it yesterday and stepped up to a 28” tire, going to lower...

Thank you! Yeah, I knew I didn’t need a wipe down for the actual bond but it made it a little easier to check my work with the poor lighting I had [emoji846][emoji1360]

Thanks! And yes sir, it certainly has been 128! (3 times, actually). Amazingly, there is still more in it as well.

Usually when I detail the car, I’ll do the traditional two step correction with a compound and polish and top it with a wax. I’ve used Meguires “Ultimate” series of products and they do surprisingly well. While I’ve always had great results this way, I wanted to try something a little less...

Yeah, its passing around 71-7200 right now with the 3.31’s. I have 3.73’s going in and will be stepping up to a 27” tire vs the 26” I run currently. The 3.73/27” combo should put me through the traps around 7900 rpm and give me a few hundred RPM to play with.

My car is a manual and the launch rpm was about 5k but I had to slip the clutch a lot and it still spun. It was a high 1.6x sixty foot, the car is normally bottom 1.5’s. It also dyno’d 480rwhp/393tq

That car also had weight reduction done to it, hence why I said it’s at the guesstimated weight even with the passenger. Just about every car that goes out to our meets, especially the NA ones, have a bit of weight reduction performed.
