alright ya just curious as to what you guys 60ft times are and what ya done to the front and rear suspension to get there. I wanna know wheels, front and rear springs and shocks. I know some of ya fuggers are fast and ya been around longer to fiqure this stuff out.
So with that said, lets here it I got some plans coming for mine but I wanna know what it takes to beat a L ![]() BTW right now as it is in the pics... I pull 1.8s very rare...for the most part consistant 1.9-2.0 and 2.2-2.4 on shitty track I'm working to be able to pull 1.7s on stock tire consistently and when i bolt on the mhDR's hoping for 1.5-1.6 consistently

1.87 60 ft. on my quickest run. Just an eibach 2/4 drop along with 2" belltech drop spindles and some JLP traction bars for suspension. Tires were Nitto 555r's with 18 psi and about a 5-7 second burnout.

As for front end weight I have no clue but it's heavy, I got a heavy ass Fiberglass Hood, the extra weight of the Whipple, no Batt Relocate. Hell I even had the Front Sway Bar on, the Tail Gate on, and over 40 lbs of Nitrous Tank and Assy's in the rear, all we did was pulled the Pass Seat and Console. Unfortunately I eventually broke BOTH springs (and never knew it) I was driving with them in pieces for god knows how long ![]() I went to check the front brakes one day and boy was I surprised on what I found.... Now I have stock coils with 1 full coil cut out and it sits and handles great, havent been to the track in ages so I dont know how it would 60ft with these springs in it ? This is how it sits now ![]() The former owner did A LOT of racing and went through numerous motors so those springs were pretty well shot by the time I got the truck. Some say this was the reason for my consistent 60 ft's

I'll tell you one thing, they're A LOT thinner than the factory springs
Here's the coil I cut off the 02 Springs I put in (notice how much thicker they are) |

wow man thats crazy I cant believe you never noticed?! So did you 60 that 1.3 with the stock springs or the jdm springs? I'm currently talking to different spring builders and trying to be the first SRT to pull a tire off the ground or even be the first to fully extend the suspension
