This winter I plan to add the following mods to what I have now.

EWP
52-54mm TB
Cutout
A/C Delete
Dyno Tune
150ish lbs weight reduction
New Rear shocks (stocks are SHOT)
SFC's (Spohn Chromoly)
LCA Relo's
Maybe a Torque Arm (Spohn chromoly)
New/Race Clutch (undecided)
Drag Wheels
What improvements in both ET and MPH
can be had?

Best 60' to date is a 1.91 and that was sadly dropping it at 3800 off the 2-step and immediately turning on the nitrous, spraying it out the hole.

It traps 100 on motor and 113 on spray. (Before you make fun of me remember the track is 5800ft and DA was 7500+ the day I ran last). Car is also currently MORE than full weight. (Stereo stuff, N20 kit, and I'm a fatass). And its untuned currently.

Thanks for any input

skip the tb and if you do the lca relocation brackets you will need adjustable lcas all the rest looks good but the ac you may want to keep it in texas! lol My car went a 1.61 60ft on stock suspension spraying out of the hole stock suspension!

Texas isn't the Cowboy State, Wyoming is ;-)

TB is at the bottom of the list but if I have the funds I'll do it just because. Will be going ported heads / intake in the future and would like the extra air flow.

Was that auto or stick?

Not sure I want to do that. Even when I buy a new tq arm it will probably still be mounted to the trans. It's not a full blown race car, and it does go on long trips sometimes. Dont want the road feedback and noise of a tunnel mount.

i had a spohn tunnel mounted TQ arm and it didnt vibrate bad at all. Its all in if u set the angle up right in the rear. Mines not a full out drag car either but i did it for piece of mind. Launching at higher rpms with sticky tires cant b good for that tail shaft on there. $230 vs a couple grand for a new tranny?
