so maybe some sub-frame connectors, trac bars, etc. yeah it could be in the 10's. might be 10.99's but could hook hard with the big block! Good Luck!

I have sub frame connectors,adjustable control arms,strange adjustable shocks and a rear anti roll bar on the car already.The big problem is the 60 ft. time on the 11.27 pass was only a 1.692 they need to be in the 1.50's.The rear tires are MT Et street tires 28X11.5X15" they are getting old and i don't think i left enough air out of them here's a couple pics of my Mustang,Later Mark.

Lol, i was just kidding about those ideas! I figured you already had that installed to be running low 11's but didnt know you had a good setup.

Nice ride though.

Does the car unload on one side of the rear? (torque twist or whatever you call it?)

Thanks for the compliment,it launches nice and even with the Team Z anti-rollbar.If it did't have the anti-rollbar i'm sure it would launch all twisted up.

Later Mark.

I had the air pressure in the rear tires down to 14-15 psi.I talked to my buddy that built my shortblock,transmission and ported my heads earlier this week.He thinks with tunning and some other upgrades my car will go faster than 10.80's we'll see.He also said a air pan or no air cleaner would probably also help.I raced the car last time with the air cleaner still on the car,Later Mark.

nice. i would consider the air pan instead of no air cleaner. its smoother- can keep potential particles out of the engine. i agree with the original assesment. the 60 foot would be the time killer.

why not try 12 psi and stiffen the passenger side rear suspension with an air bag?

I think a air pan will help for sure,i'm also going to try a windage tray since i don't have one now.I think i'm going to try the tires at 12 psi. like you mentioned since some other guys said that's what they run in them.And do some suspension and engine tunning and see what happens.

Thanks Mark.

cool, good luck. when you do suspension upgrades, dont forget about the engine torqueing the chassis and some sort of pass. side stiffnes to reduce flex will help the drivers side tire to stick.

hope you hit that number! again, thats a beautifull car!
