so you're buying a locker and hardened axles, anything else? what tranny you got and what 60's you going for?

post some pictures of wheelies if you get some air at the track.

Nighthawk · 09-06-2003, 03:32 AM

thats all i need for now...

should be able to pull some mid 1.6's....and yes, the front will be up

LCA's and UCA's are all i have left of the suspension...i'll see what the stockers can do tho.

when the stuff goes in, i'm going to have them weld the torque boxes and axles tubes. i also need a rear end cover, but that can wait.....i still need headers :2thumbup:

EWP · 09-06-2003, 03:43 AM

badass man, i still need to put my stock t-lok in so i don't look like a fool burninating one tire.:2thumbdwn

i'll be lookin for some wheel action at the track:2thumbup:

stock GT's have cut 1.6's, you should be good for at least 1.5X with those...?

macgyver, you should know better. i don't talk shit, period, unless i'm kidding. i don't know all of what it takes to get that low because i haven't been there. i have though seen relatively stock GT's with slicks cut a high 1.6X 60' though, and i know that hardened 31's will take probably more hp than nighthawk is making (guessing they could take 450rwhp or so)..

ThurgoodJenkins · 09-06-2003, 04:41 AM

I can only cut high 1.8's

Nighthawk · 09-06-2003, 04:42 AM

my car IS relatively stock!!!

tire · 09-06-2003, 04:45 AM

oh, didn't know that.

a friend's ~220rwhp V6 cut 1.8's with DR's and only a 1.7 with slicks, though he is new to using slicks (as am i). he had stock suspension.

Nighthawk · 09-06-2003, 04:48 AM

i make 239 whp

tire · 09-06-2003, 04:49 AM

Well, you'll be good to go later on at least when you have more power.

Nighthawk · 09-06-2003, 04:53 AM

power doesn't break shit....traction does

tire · 09-06-2003, 05:02 AM

ya so?

the point of upgrading is because i have traction...not power

you seem to have failed to realize that...

at 1.6x....the stuff will break. its not a matter of maybe, or it might be ok....something will give out.

mine has been ok somehow...i've made 350 or so passes....

150 or so with sub 1.79 60 fts....the t-lock still works, and nothing has ever broke. i pulled a 1.72 last week "taking it easy" and decided its too close to risk

tire · 09-06-2003, 05:10 AM

yes, i know that the strain on the drivetrain out of the hole is what breaks things.

???

nevermind.

**1SLO85** · 09-06-2003, 06:07 AM

Nighthawk, you'll need to cut a hole in the floor board to see the track when you launch

I think 1.6's should be pretty easy with the new set up. Good luck:2thumbup:

**bandit** · 09-06-2003, 01:36 PM

TIGHT!

so does this mean you changed your mind on selling the welds? i don't think you'll be getting much traction on gatorbacks
