New "pathetic" track times after 3.73's !!HELP!!

Two words: SUBFRAME CONNECTORS, especially with the drop-top, I'm surprized that you don't have severe wheelhop. When I got my 8.8 with 373's (stock 82 motor) I tried racing a 96 GT and off the line I wheelhopped so bad that I broke the main vacuum line that goes from the vacuum tree to the intake manifold (sounded like a gunshot). I had my subframes welded in two days later and now I can't even make it wheel hop.

Do the subframes now, it will make a night and day difference, your 60 foot times will drop substantially, that and the 373's take a little practice.

------------------
GT-40 heads (ported, polished, + milled), B303 cam, 1.7rr's, JE pistons, Offy intake, Carter AFB 625cfm carb, Flowtech 1 5/8" shortys, Flowtech X-pipe, MAC Flowpath exhaust, MAC pulleys, 373's, subframes, Eibachs+Tokicos, B&M ripper, FMS Clutch, Zoom Quadrant+cable, 17" CSA Ultra rims, 235/45ZR17 Yokohama AVS S4's, MSD 6A ignition+coil, FMS 9mm wires, Carbed, Naturally Aspirated, and Nasty!
