how to get into the 11s with my 97 gt

[duff daddy]

You don't even need a tune, our ECU is so detuned as is.

If you dont want insurance and for your car to run as good as it can.. then fine..

I really appreciate all the help and advice guys. I get the car back tomorrow and installing the nitrous kit tomorrow night. gonna make some test passes Friday hopfully on stock suspension and street tires to see what it does on 75 shot.

im deffinantly ginna get the car tuned, I blew up a bike from non tuning on spray!

im waiting on my drag radials to come in the mail.

Car is deffinantly going on a diet, still gonna be a street car, but a diet is at top of the list for sure

Good to hear dude I'm always here to give advice to people actually willing to listen and who wanna go fast.... This site has so many people asking for help and won't even listen... This is why I only reply to some tech on here ... When it comes to going fast on the track there's a few of us who are big into drag racing with built chassis ... My car makes very little power and traps at 124mph on the bottle with my combo ... It's all how you work it

Engine: 75 shot, set of pi cams/heads and intake
Sus: adjustable front and rear struts and some nice 4cyl fox body springs up front, no sway bar links..
Driveline: stock axles will be ok as long as you dont have a heavy clutch, 26x8.5x15" slicks

let it eat and get a good tune youll see 11's easy with that combo

+1, what he said, Duffy is the 2V guru

mustard, what exactly is your combo if I may ask.

I picked the car up today, will say im kinda disappointed. My buddy made it seem like from a dead stop I would just boil off the stock street tires with the new stall, it hardly spins. it deffinantly is more responsive though which I like! car has stock gears and is basically bone stock minus exhaust, so I guess the converter isn't going to make a huge difference with my little 200ish hp monster haha. will put some break in miles on it tomorrow and then throw some nitrous to her and see how it runs

My cars pushrod ... But it's heavily ported gt40 heads ,port matched proffesional products intake ,f303 , long tubes , tubular k member ,coilovers on all 4 corners with strange 10 way adjustables, 373 gears , through floor subframe connectors . The list goes on 125 wet shot , double adjustable upper control arms single adjustable lowers ... All solid bushings in rear . With a 28 12.50-15 et street out back and one wicked driver mod ... You need some 4.10's or 3.73's at the least to help the dog out of the whole .

Oh wow, now that's a build! car looks sick man, always had a soft spot for yellow!

im gonna go with 4.10s since its an auto I know im gonna need everything I can to move my big ass!

gonna throw the nitrous kit on tomorrow it looks like, hopfully will be ready for the track. im trying to track down a heating issue, gets a little hot when ya full throttle, I changed the t stat and upper rad hose today, helped a great deal but still gets a little hotter than I like, I think I needed a lower temp t stat.
