Next mod need help!

[bmxr152]

Ok so im selling my other car for $1,100 and want to do some stuff to my cobra. Its going to be mainly used for drag racing. My current mods are listed in my sig. Im hoping to hit low 13's or high 12's with a 100shot in middle febuary. I was thinking about upper and lower control arms and gears. and maybie if i have some funds left over, an sct xcal 2. Let me know what you guys think!

 

[PSUCOBRA96]

well if you wanna drag race, change the rear end gears to 4:30's upgrade to 31 splines and a detroit locker and a girdle, change the bearings too....

 

[rio95cobra]

1. Upgrade to a wet kit ($150)
2. Delete IMRC's ($5 and a couple hours of your time)
3. 4.10's ($4-500 w/ installed)
4. LCA's ($200?)
5. Adjustable shocks ($400)

 

[bmxr152]

I know im gunna need some motor mounts too. should i get the poly urethane ones?

 

[Midnight_Cobra]

4.10's, LCA's, rear drag springs, DR's.

 

[FunkyBoss]

You should be in the mid-12's now with a good set of DR's. On stock suspension and stock gear with a dry 100 shot, I ran 7.9@86 mph in the 1/8th, which "should" be good for a mid-low 12 in the 1/4. Tire's are 255/55/16 MT ET Street radials on stock pony rims, cost me $300 shipped. The built rear is a great idea seeing that I snapped an axle after about 35 passes, I will be upgrading to an FRPP 31 spline diff and Moser axles as soon as my tax return comes in!

 

[Cookieman00x]

MGW Shifter (didnt see it there)
Gears (4.10's)
Long tube headers
Some good rear tires

 

[bmxr152]

So this is what im thinking so far
4.30 gears
MGW shifter
Eibach Drag springs
Lower und upper control arms
Poly motor mounts (i need them so this is a have to)

+1 with the 100 shot you should be mid 12's no problem.com

 

[19mustang95]

like everyone said, drag radials and gears are what you need. you should be able to hit low 12s easily with a 100 shot...

 

[SVTContique]

Get the gears, the shifter, and some drag radials and run the 12's all day long.

+1. So many people change the gears but neglect the fact they still have stock 28 spline axles/diff. Have the axle tubes welded up also and get the torque boxes welded up and get some battle boxes. And SFCs if you don't have them.

the only reason why i want the control arms is because the roads are crappy here and when i get on the rough roads i can feel my rear end get loose and shake around and it pisses me off. I want it to feel more solid.

omg i have this same ****ing problem. not to jack your thread or anything, but i'm getting 4.10's installed here soon. what else would i need with the gears and how could i make it more solid for the streets?

 

[bmxr152]

Get the full install kit. Yeah i hate that when i hit bumps the whole back end get loose and pisses me off.

i know, it sucks. especially if you're in the midst of a race.

Well I'd say if that is what is bothering you most about your car right now, then do that. That is how I determine what to do next to my car. Sometimes it puts off bigger things that I want to do a little bit (like a built rear, or new wheels), but then that issue is taken care of. One thing at a time. Slowly, but surely. Don't skimp out on something just cause you will get to the next thing quicker. Just my 2 cents.

 

[bmxr152]

yeah ive done that with my cars for a long time. No more buying something i dont need before something i do.
