Congrats on your first time.....
#1 the more seat time you get the better you will be....
i know i will sound like a broken record.....
Your main objective should be lowering your 60' time
based on the MPH the car runs good but you are obviously having traction problems.......
overall looks like you had a good nite.....

Definitely make subframe connectors high on your priority list, especially with 4.10's. I suggest having them welded not bolted. I got lucky that my 88 GT frame wasn't permanently twisted after making all of the changes Reggie recommends (except the subframe connectors). I had to get help from fellow racers to get the door open after one pass, and I only had 3.55's!

im buying subframes and some lowering springs tomorrow! Not sure what kind of performance ill get out of the springs but ive always wanted to lower the stang. Next will be upper and lower control arms and im still waiting to be able to put in my cams.

FYI.....
Lowering spring will hinder the weigh tranfer to the rear wheels
thus resulting in worst 60' times ....
so the decision you must make
Do i want appearance or performance.......

+1 Lowering springs will only compress so much......and when they reach that point they are going to rebound very hard.

+2 on this. Also lowering the car changes the pinion angle (driveshaft to rear angle) and should be re-adjusted after the car is lowered.
