im glad for an other reason why I posted this, Im gettin some nice idea's on suspension mods for my formula.

What would you replace first? Torque arm, or control arms? Im thinking control arms.

 

control arms. im still using my stock torque arm

 

i've got a 12sec car with a 13sec driver
2.26 60' (bogged) 8.71@83mph 1/8,13.51@106.81mph 1/4
Hooker LT's, OR pipe, cai, 4.10 gears
good launch 1.6/1.7x 60' and i'd be in the 12's

 

I went 12.97 @108 & 1.97 60' with boltons (stock rocker arms too).

 

I've gone 12.839@107.42 with stock exhaust manifolds, threw a cat, stock tb, on dr's. I will be the fastest all bolt on Lt1 car out there. Stock rockers too.
By the middle of May, I should be running high 11's @ about 114.

 

i just went 12.95 @ 111.34 with a crappy 2.165 60 ft.

 

You are going to gain 7 mph and still remain bolton.That=70 rwhp
goodluck

my best bolton time was 12.65.

 

Where do you usually run at? I'm at Cecil Co, MD and Maple Grove now and then just wondering if I've seen you there before. I've heard high 11's are possible with all the boltons, especially a great suspension setup. 114mph for a bolt only car would be really amazing though, best of luck.

 

lol wow didnt exspect to see my old post to come back from the dead.

 

114mph might be a little optimistic, BUT you are trapping 107mph through the stock manifolds. If you had told me you were gonna trap 107mph through the stock manifolds and with stock rockers I would have told you that was optimistic. BUT you DID IT! You need to throw some longtubes and 1.6's or 1.7's on there!!! Your car is truely a beast, I think you have one of those freak cars

Goodluck and keep us posted, I am very curious to see your new times

 

Hey guys. I cant wait to get to the track. I just ordered M/T streets and i'm gonna borrow some skinnies. I also added the following
Thunder MAF ends
1LE elbow
Holley 52mm Throttle body
Redline 5w30
Meziere EWP
SLP line lock
Remove splash guard for added cai
Removed almost everything from interior except console and rugs
This is all through stock manifolds and still through a cat!
I'm waiting on my PPC longtubes. I'm gonna need them for the 11's.

As of now I'm expecting mid 12.2's @111. I just hope my stock 56k origional! clutch holds up. I'm gonna try 5,000 rpm dumps and 5800 rpm powershifts. I cant wait

 

Keep us posted! best mph i have ever seen out of my car was 109.55.. but it did trap 108 @ 3933lbs.. So anything's possible if the air is there..

 

Update:I didnt get to the track last weekend but I went last night to Atco. Track and weather conditions were MUCH worse then when I ran the 12.839@107.42. DA was about 950 compared to about -500. I ran with some brand new M/T ET Streets 26x10.5x16. All my mods were as I posted before except I didnt get to borrow JS's skinnies so I had the heavy 17" SS wheels up front. Here are my 6 best runs:
1.848
12.903@107.28

1.809
12.875@107.44

1.812
12.835@107.21

1.747
12.786@106.72

1.737
12.792@106.60

1.736
12.793@106.69

On the last run i dumped the clutch at 5,000. It moved out pretty good with no spin. The revs dropped some but it didnt bog. I had the tire pressure at 10psi(cold) on that run. 10-12 seemed to work the best.
I was some what dissapointed with the times but the weather and track had a big factor. I think there is mid 1.6's left in the stock clutch/ET's on a prepped track. How much does everyone think the weather played a part? I'm figuring 2 tenths. So hopefully if i can get the launch a little better, borrow some skinnies, and get somebetter weather I can be runnnig close to 12.3's. I was dissapointed with the mph as well but I guess thats what M/T's will do with 10psi in them and not great air. Overall I had fun and was glad to get new bests

 

i clicked off a 12.73 @ 111.06 w/2.013 60 ft. the rear is making some really bad noises so i was leaving at idle. i also weighed it 3560.

 

I'm at 13.019 with the stock converter and 3.23's on street tires. I have 3.73's sittin right next to me waitin to be put in, and I hope that they put me in the 12's.
