Hey guys,
Been quite a few years since I've hit the track. Planning on going soon with some friends and brothers. Best I have done with my 3 valve is a 13.5 which was just lowering springs, crap tires, catted x pipe, and borlas. Don't remember trap speeds or 60'. Many have said I'm looking at possibly 12.5's on my car. Do yall think this car should be capable of that? Any ideas what a reasonable 60' should be and 1/8 and 1/4 should be along with trap speeds? I just want to do 12's and I'm happy. If I can run further into the 12's I'd be floored but a 12.99 is good for me.
I am 5 speed and I now have an MGW and shifting is much better. I'm not the greatest driver but I'd say I'm a little above average, I'm not terrible. Launching is my downfall but I recently got new rear springs, shocks, BMR LCA's and the relo brackets installed and WOW, I am much better at launches. I take the shifting some what easy and try not to kill it but they are smooth, not trying to rip out of gear and slam into the next and tear the 3650 up. I follow the slow is smooth and smooth is fast. It's my daily driver.
But I'm Cammed, CAI, gt500 throttle, longtubes, offroad H, MBRP mufflers, and all wrapped up by the man Lito. That's it for power and I'm putting a consistent 357/335 to the wheels on same dyno on 93 octane and tuned for daily driving. May do some logging at the track for Lito.
Suspension is: all stock front but springs (SR springs from AM going to BMR front lowering soribgs to go softer and no more sag) with refreshed front suspension except for the struts. Rear is BMR poly LCA's, BMR relocation brackets, Koni orange shocks, Steeda ultralite rear springs (so much nicer than the SR crap!), BMR poly panhard rod, Stock diff and the stock 3.55 gears. Better and wider rear tires now and I have the MGW as well.
Note this is a daily driver that will see the drag strip hoping 1 time a month soon or even every 2 months. But 100% daily and I like to also have some fun spirited driving and I hit sebring or the FIRM once a year. I't not a dedicated race car. But I plan on getting the koni struts and BMR front springs then Sam Strano sway bars and then rebuild/refresh the while rearend and go to 3.73' or 4.10's with a torsen. If I buy one it will be the eaton and I'll get 4.10's but If I find a wrecked 13-14 track pack 5.0 I'm going to just pull it's torsen with the 3.73's and go with those. Will also go to a FRPP finned dif cover.
Wife is getting me a set of the SVE drag wheels for my birthday so I will eventually have those for the track when I go.
With those drag wheels will the eaton or factory torsen in the track pack yotes be safe? I dont want a limited slip ever again cause I do not want to have to rebuild it again and again also like I said it's a daily so cannot have a full posi lol. Need to turn whichis why I'm after the torsen.
Thanks guys and I'll post a slip when I finally go, going to be a fun day!
