Suggestions for my set up

5stroked0 · 07-20-2009

Well as of now the only thing I haven't put a lot of money into has been my suspension. This is a street car but I'd like it to be atleast a consistent low 12 car. And it's got the motor to do more. But rightnow the only suspension stuff I have are front 4cyl springs, 50/50 rears, u/l control arms, subframes, and 555rs. What else can I do that won't cost too much but still help my drag times? I as thinking some 90/10's for the front and bags for the rear, anything else?? Thanks for any suggestions. I've taken my car to the track once so far and only got in one run before rain, and with a slipping aode and horrible launch it went 13.2 @ 104.

not knowing what you have done to the motor...

can't advise anything there.....

But i would advise a set of M/T ET streets

have the tranny rebuilt inclusive of a shift kit & convertor.....

sorry didn't know you had to know that. motor is a 347 with canfield 195's, ci cam, systemax intake, tko3550 trans and an 8.8 with 4.10's and 31spline axles. I was planning on getting a set of slicks so i can not worry about spinning at all but I want to see what i can run on these radials first.

Ok which transmission is it......

it had an aode with a 3k stall and shift kit, but like i said it was slipping. then I had more engine problems and the next time its on the road there will be a tko in it. this is a street car and sticks are way more fun on the street, which is my reasoning for the switch.

i recommend having the car put on a dyno.....

13.2's is really sub par performance for a 347.....

5stroked0 · 07-20-2009

it was on the dyno. and it will be on it again to double check the tune on the car. It did put down a horrible 312 hp tho. that was going thru an aode on a mustang dyno, but its still bad imo.

a bad aod will eat horsepower.....

when the car was dyno'd was a chip burned.......

yes. its got an sct chip in it. Like i said tho I plan on sticking it back on the rollers when my clutch is broken in to get the tune checked over and maybe a new tune burnt if i need one.
