You setup a 1LE car for drag only. Talk about ironic.

I doubt your local tech inspection will let you on the track with no rear brakes. You may want to check out the NHRA rule book.

Functionally you will probably be fine as the rears only do about 30% of the stopping any way. How fast are you planning to go?

I know.. I have owned a 89rs t top 83z28 92rs and the 92z28, just have happened to get my 92z 3rd and have owned it for 5 1/2 years now, trying to leave as much of the 1LE stuff in as possible but i do know the irony, if it makes u guys feel better i took it into a wall with fiberglass fenders & hood when i was about 21, so it than had to be Chopped cut and rebuilt. new rad support and 1 rail. cars been under construction a long time now, i like to drag race, and driving on the street isn't so smart for me i feel!, nowadays its on 165/80-15 up front and is getting a 406 with megasquirt nitrous (150) for now! built th350 and trying to get the money together to do the top of the 406 solid roller, currently flat tappet.
