What shoud this car run in the 1/4?
It'll be PI'd as soon as I get it.
bobtsgt said:PI swap will help but suspension is where its at. There is a local guy who did a 02 PI motor in his car with an intake and exhaust. Pulled off a 11.9 with proper suspension set up and weight reduction. Driver skill is also key along with practice and plenty of it.
It got down to the point where he cut off the tail pipes and took off the mufflers just to drop a few pounds while at the track. It was pretty gutted but still had the dash, door panels and carpet I believe. And did it on a stock T45 as well. I believe he was running slicks and I don't know about the rear end. He did a budget build and it worked pretty well for him. The guy can drive any car to the best of its ability. He just knows racing.justinschmidt1 said:bobtsgt said:PI swap will help but suspension is where its at. There is a local guy who did a 02 PI motor in his car with an intake and exhaust.

Wow,...was this like gutted and launching at 6k on slicks?

I think most people have been there once or twice before they gained the knowledge they know now. I know I did at first.Paul said:justinschmidt1 said:1/4 mile times have a lot more to do with the setup and driver than how much power your car makes.
More true words have never been spoken.
Most people go the track, run slow, and go home and spend more money on parts. It would be better to spend that money on more entry fees to the track.

I've beat my head against the wall a million times saying suspension. But having a tubular k is alot of work and not as sexy as cool sounding cams, so you never listen.
