Rob Peters Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 That's great Mike. Is this the most power you've ever run? Sounds like you will continue to improve as you fine tune. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Sheean Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Those are great times. To fast for me, but it would be fun to watch. I guess that means I'm getting old? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Peters Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I think I could do 130 in the quarter with mine the way it sits right now. The quarter hour that is. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Sheean Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Patrick, I am about 8 months older than you! The car felt great, I was trying to be easy on it! I'm happy you're happy with that kind of power under your feet, I don't feel that old, just don't fell comfortable going that fast, never have. I almost bought a '69 GTO about 38 years ago, it had a crate L88 and turned low 10's. To be honest the adrenalin was to much for me. So I've been to old for a long time Oh and yes I wish I had that GTO today, the owner was a friend who was going to sell it to me for $2,500. It was a beautiful show quality car, he was staring his family and needed quick cash. Keep fine tuning it and do those 9's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Very nice Mike! Great times and looks like it's launching straight and hard! What do you have for suspension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 57 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 Shocks are QA1 double adjustable on all four corners. Moroso 'trick' front springs. Big tall coils 260 lbs per inch. Scary as heck to compress and put in, like handling a hand grenade wit the pin halfway out! I had to make a longer bolt for my spring compressor. Upper A frames are aftermarket with tall ball joints for more travel. Lower A frames are aftermarket because the factory ones are ugly. BMR anti roll bar in the rear. Big improvement! Adjustable upper control arms with heim ends to the chassis. South side machine style traction links on the lower bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Thanks Mike. I looked around here but didn't see any info about your car other than the engine and hood. What rear springs are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footballubet Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Great numbers! Hoping to go with you on Saturday. Still waiting to hear if Jack is working or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 57 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 Steve, Rear springs are soft, I had the softest rears for a monte on it and then went a little softer with a spacer. I wish I could tell you what the rate is, they are red and I got them from Crazy Davey. I am amazed how much it squats down on the rear. I check the shock travel after every pass, I get about 4 1/2 inches of downward travel on launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
