Fall Drag Day? - Page 4

smashedheadcat · 08-18-2005, 01:45 PM

Looks like there will be some fast cars there this year. I'm trying to talk the old lady into letting me buy some big 'n littles for the drag day but I don't know if I can budge her. I currently have 4.30's in the rear that I will be installing so I'll need to get them changed, and some traction for I'll be running some less than steller times.

100lbs/tenth or there abouts...

I've actually stepped it up to the 3.73 gears. I was thinking about going with the 4:10's, but I just wanted the 3.73 so that I was in 4th crossing the 1/4 rather then at the 3/4 shift.

Should be fun.........I wish I had the extra coin to purchase some Drag only wheels, but that will have to wait until the Feb. Drag day!

I'm getting the new clutch soon, so that will put a little hole in my pocket

I think 3.73 will be very nice for ya. I was thinking I may be able to keep the 4.30's if I bought a set of 28'' slicks. I don't want to make my wife upset though by picking up a set of these wheels/tires.

Yeah, that would be nice, 4:30's with the 28" tire! I was actually thinking about picking up a set of Centerline's for the car. 15x4 up front with some 15x10's in the rear. I've looked at Summit and they've got them for around $550 shipped for the set. I'd like a set of the Bogart's, but as much as I'd use them it ain't worth the money for me, even the Centerline's will save me a good bit of weight for the track though

As for the car a few things came up, so I'm not sure what will be on the car and what won't

But the solid axle is beautiful, nice as hell and rides great! No more worrying about breaking the IRS

A huge thanks to Ronnie (ScreamMachine) for doing such a great job on it. Can't wait to put it through hell and back

That's awesome! My old room-mate has a solid axle and he's coming down today. We are going to put mine in and I'll use the Pro Racer package and compensate for the gears. So I'll play with some new stuff a little bit today and tomarrow. And I've been eyeballin them centerline telstars for awhile, but I need something with a 5.5 inch backspace if I go 15x10. But I think the 5'' should be close enough. But that and a 28'' slick may not work as well for me. I don't know.

So Shannon you going to come down and play with the big boys or what?

The car is put back together and the new clutch is going in by the end of the month! Now, I'm going to see if I can scrape up enough money for the big/littles with some tires and I'll be good!

BTW, will it be a problem driving on these? (referring to the big and littles)

I'm gonna try to talk with Coastal Plains Dragway when I get back and see what they charge for a track rental. They just resurfaced the track last year. They are cool people there and I think it would make a great location for a drag event in the future.

I knew there were a good bit of cars but we were told to pre-register early because they were only letting 60 in?

Great event and we haven't missed one since we have known about them and we will be there for this one and the one in Feb. too!

I still say that bracket racing sux!!! But we will be there for the TNT.

PS. Tony I will have my 6-7 sent in by next week Sir! Just printed the forms out.

Doing my best to scrape up the $ for the clutch. If I don't - I won't be able to run

Infamous, If'n ya get (ET Street/Drag) Bias Plys for the bigs... be prepared for the wiggle. If runnin DRs, should feel normal.

InfamousSVT · 09-26-2005, 12:05 AM

I plan on running a ET Street Drag Radial, that way I can drive down on them and don't have to worry about the wiggle on the high end..............my car and a wall don't mix

smashedheadcat · 09-26-2005, 11:06 AM

I've really got to get cracking on my car. I'm going up to Indiana on wednesday, so when I get back, I'll have to tear into it or I won't have the car ready in time.

Shon Herron · 09-26-2005, 11:09 AM

I am sending in my 'stuff' this week!!
Got the bolt on car almost ready, you willl get to see it run a blistering low 13 second 1/4mile pass!! what would you expect from a Camaro anyway?

Hey James are you doing the clutch yourself or paying someone to do it? If you want to do it yourself I will be glad to help ya and I have pretty much a full service shop here if your interested so let me know if we can help.

You know the wife is gonna rag your azz regardless of your reason/excuse if you don't race.

I also replied on the CorruptedStangs.net forums.

You had better get cracking on that thing.......I can't wait to see it run!

I'm still waiting on one last thing for my clutch (26-spline) input shaft and then I'll be home free. I'm getting a gt style cat-back for it and then I need to get a good dyno tune from Amazon (I hope the dyno is going to be finished soon).
