Big difference with new suspension??

Chris_H · 01-01-2003, 11:56 PM

Ok, my previous best at the track I am going to on Sunday is a 13.88 and 96.6. This was done with everything in the signature back in March. I just added some 50/50 shocks in the back, and on friday I will be adding my 90/10's, 4 cyl springs up front, sway bar is being removed, and my 4.10's go in tomorrow. Should I expect that much of a gain, or just a .10 or so? I understand that the weather plays a role, as well as driving and track conditions, but I don't want to think I am expecting too much to be able to pull off a 13.5. This elevation will be the death of me before too long.

If you have the the right cam and heads and intake to take atvantage the higher RPM's the 4:10's will give you ... AND you can hook up good with the extra torque multiplication the 4:10's will give you. You just might get close to your goal ? So many variables its really hard to say.

That high of altitude sure does suck! You might be able to get a couple of tenths i would think, just getting the launch down is a huge improver of ET's. Good luck,
