What are some of your 60ft times, with a stock or near stock (bolt-ons) motor and modded suspension? Please post the times and what mods to your suspension you have done

 

2.8 V6 with no mods to anything.

2.387 60'

 

any more? i'm actually looking for cars that have modded the suspension alot but are still running a mostly stock motor, not all stock setups.

Thanks,

Jim

 

With a mostly stock thirdgen you really wont need much in terms of suspension mods to 60ft well,other than a set of drag radials unless by bolt on your talking about nitrous, supercharger, or turbo.

I know my car is not what your looking for though it is not very far from stock either.It's a 3.8 V6 with TH400 trans and 3.08 geared 12 Bolt.

Up front I have a PA Racing tubular k-member and a-arms with Koni struts and QA-1 coilover springs(14"/130#).Out back I have Hotchkis panhard rod and trailing arms with KYB struts and stock springs with air bags in them(5#L/25#R).Torque arm is a Jegster which I really like.

I run 26x11.5x16 ET Streets and consistantly 60ft in the 1.47-1.49 range(1.47 best)

HTH,
Steve

 

I also have a TTA. Mine runs 1.89-1.95 60' times on BFG Comp TA's. Suspension is totally stock. The car has a chip, test pipe, open air cleaner, and a mild stall. Never had slicks on it.

 

Car is in signature. Best 60' ever was a 1.89.

Usually runs 1.95-2.05 depending on how good track prep is

 

Thanks alot guys, where the koni/qa1's a direct bolt in or what mods did you have to do?

 

times in sig and mods in sig. i need drag radials.

 

The Koni's are stock replacements from Jegs or Summit and the coilover setup was from PA Racing.It originally came with Afco springs but scince I was not happy with the rate/length I ordered the QA-1 springs from Jegs or Summit(I forget which).

I will add that though the Koni's are good struts,IMHO they are not the best struts for drag racing and am switching to Competition Engeneering or Lakewood non-adjustable 90/10 struts and 50/50 rear shocks for 2004 after seeing how they operated last year.If I were more concerned with street and handling I'd make the compromise and stick with the Koni's but I'd rather go for 1.3x 60fts

Good, gimme your old Koni's Steve

Kat

 

I am installing the Comp Engineering c2700 adjustable rear shocks when i put my rear in, i've heard the koni spa1 drag shocks are better then the 90/10 shocks but at 189 a piece that's a little rich for my blood. I may go lakewood 70/30 for the front since the car does see some street use. I wish they made adjustable front shocks like they do rears. Wouldn't it be nice to go from stock to 70/30 to 90/10 depending on the what you need for street or how the track was prepared?

 

They do,the Koni struts I have are adjustable.

Kat I'll let you know when I change em,dont know exactly when that'll be though(hopefully sometime this spring).

Steve

 

I meant adjustable to 90/10 if your koni's adjusted to that right now why switch to comp's or lakewoods

 

Your right,they do not adjust all the way or at least I dont think they perform like they do.In the end the koni's arent made for drag racing,more of a street or road course strut.

I'm changing them cause I'm not happy with them.I want a lighter single rate 90/10 strut made for drag racing that wont unload the rear tires when they come back down like the koni's do.
