I run the lakewood traction action (not the slapper bars) and uppers. I run Jegs mounts on the rear end upper mounts. I lowered the upper mount holes on the car by 1 inch. I run the lakewood lowers in the bottom hole. I run adjustable shocks set to soft, for good seperation. The car barely rotates at all. I run KYB AGX struts set to soft in the front.

My class demands True Radial tires. I run BFG 265/50 15's on stock turbine wheels. I pull 1.79-1.80s 60foots. I run 8.30's average. 1/8th mile. Dynoed 227 to the wheels before adding heads and Cobra intake to a stock engine. Stock cam still there. So no major power in this car. It is driven daily 1 hour to work 1 way. Ride is a little stiff at times, but very tight and predictable. The car never ever trys to get sideways in a turn under pressure. Wet pavement is a challenge until I mount the UNI-T compound Bridgestones. Or Firehawks.

Also use a EEC tuner board to detune the engine below 3000. Well below my shift point landing. That way I can dump it hard and not have to concentrate on pedal feather. But have yet to track test it. Vericom and Gtech results look good so far. Vericom will test 60foots, but you loose the rollout and get deep staged results. I trust the Gtech et, but MPH is optimistic by a couple points, and is only good for 1/4. Vericom to any distance.
