I was wondering what my 60ft times might be launching with a street twin/11.5" et streets assuming a well prepped track and 500 rwhp (nitrous)
What RPM should I launch at?
Would I bet able to lift my front wheels with skinnies and a 3600 lb car with me in it?

Rod442 pulled a 1.53 on a 5500rpm launch with his 500rwhp TT Formula weighing 3800+ and yes it picked the wheels up.

Got any suspension mods???
Assuming you have the suspension worked out so it plants the power properly you should be able to get a mid to low 1.5 60'.
With my set up I leave at 5,800 RPM, with the ET drags set at 11 psi. This gets me 1.52 - 1.55 in the 60' with the fronts about 8 - 12" off the ground.
My guess is 1.5's. Suspension work would be minimal with springs, shocks, roll bar and subframes. 12 bolt would be warranted unless you want to be towed home.

Stock torque arm? LCA's? Driveshaft?
Your new street twin is going to eat everything.
You need to improve your suspension. Throwing
a nine inch in is a awesome start now finish it off
with some A1 launch components.:)

What should I do at the moment that isnt going to cost me an arm and a leg, this rear end is going to take practically everything I got at the moment.

My .02
At a absolute minimum you would need a good
torque arm and sub frames if you don't have them.
Will your stock ta even fit your 9"?

I have SLP diamond subrframes, i dont have lcas though.
I would suggest aftermarket TQ arm and LCA's. Also make sure you get a top quality TQ arm such as the BMR extreeme or Madman's. When you are pushing a M6 to the 1.5 range there are tremendous shock loads that the TQ arm has to absorbe. I have broke three in the past (2 Spohn & 1 S&W).
I would also suggest adjustable front and rear shocks. With out the quick weight transfer you will have problems getting the M6 to launch hard.

Patty boy just got a set of tubular lca's. How much is a good torque arm? I'm not sure if I can get one that mounts to its own brace because of my true duals. They might pose a problem.
