Finally got around to making some passes on an unprepped track with the solid axle swap. Looking forward to making hits on a prepped track suspension tweaked along with the ARB install. Need to clean up my driving...was definitely impressed pulling a 1.43 60' on an un prepped surface.


First pass out in over a year, new t56, so I had no clue how it would shift. Tuneup was the same as year prior, car 60ft'd 1.48, and was honestly the loosest I had ever drove it, scared me a tad.

2nd pass I made, shifted cleaner and lower launch rpm went [email protected] 60'


2nd or 3rd pass, they told me slow down, and run 1/8th till I get a 10pt.....made a slight shock, and tire pressure adjustment...car responded well!

Just installed the ARB, and swapping to 175 coilovers, and strange adjustable up front. Car should be in the hunt for some 6.1's @ 113-114 here real quick, and 1.3 60's with some small details cleaned up.

Very nice. Definitely the better choice for drag racing. I know people still do fine with an IRS at the strip, but this way is just better overall for that. Good luck on the next visit!
