im curious as to what 60ft i can get with this setup:

Bmr trak pak
alston SFCs
bmr LCAs
lca relocation kit
3.45 gearing
aluminum drive shaft
255 50 16 BFG drag radials
air bag in the right rear
posi of course
350-360hp
5spd tranny, ill have to slip the clutch so i dnt explode the t5
and 3200 weight with driver

 

I would say a 1.5 60 is possible

 

yeah the 255 50 16 BFG drag radials are going to be the biggest help. definitely would see the low 1.6s at least i would think.

the biggest problem is 60 foot me also, i still spin now with all my suspension mods, i need some real drag tires this time. at least i dont wheel hop or flex anymore.

 

You'd be suprised at the amount of torque a stock T5 can take. With 350-360 HP, you should be fine. It's how well you shift it that will decide how long it lasts. As for what 60ft times to expect, that's nearly impossible to predict (accurately). I would guess anywhere from 1.6 to 2.0. I have some suspension mods, though not as many as you, and BFG drag radials. My best to date is in my sig. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I've seen people on here running better 60ft times (than mine) on street tires, with no suspension mods.

 

ill probably do a few runs where i drop it at like 3500 or somethin and see how it reacts. not to pat myself on the back but i think im a pretty good driver so if the car is capable of a 1.6 or even a 1.5 i should be able to get it there. as for shifting i dont power shift, i do the normal routin let of the gs push in the clutch, shift the gear nail it, but as fast as i can, ive made abou 100 runs in this car and it hasnt broken the tranny so i guess my shifting is acceptable for a t5. i reallly rip on the shifter tho, if i do a burnout on the stret there is about a foot to a foot and a half space between the marks.

i guess im just lookin for what the car should be capable of doin with those suspension mods, lol with an extremely good driver behind the wheel.

 

if other people could post their rear suspension setups and their 60fts thatd be cool.

Best 60ft to date: 1.915

 

Stock everything out back, 3.08s
255/50/16 BFG DR
2.147

What would be the best thing to buy, Lower Control Arms and Relocation brackets?

 

those will help out, but
with drag radials u should be able to do 1.8 even on teh stock parts. run 18-20 psi of presure in them and slip the clutch as hard as u can at 3500 when launching this should work better for u.
