    rear suspension where to start

    yes i roll the fender more like beat with a dead blow. the backspacing if i would guess is 3.5 but i run a .5 spacer because frame rails havent been notched YET. I got a 28x10.5 on a 9" rim that why they fit because i got the same tire on a 8" with same backspacing and the tire stick out of the...

    rear suspension where to start

    good luck with your changes that was the last pass with those tires. i bought a set of m/t slicks and 60ft went back to mid 50s. that was a 1.61 60ft there. keep us posted wuth the changes that you make and how they work.

    rear suspension where to start

    thats what i've been doing for as long as i been a member of this site. your shocks should do what lift bars do mine does. when i watch a video i saw the seperation that they talk about a triangle 4 link should have. i had bought a set of relocation brackets but never used them because i talk to...

    rear suspension where to start

    they also help the rear move freely but i was told to stay away from the lift bars with a big hp car (550 or better). i got a deal on mine double lowers so they are worth it. but a good set from any of these suppliers arent that bad. a good set of shocks will create the seperation of the rearend...

    rear suspension where to start

    we have about the same problem with 60ft and our suspension set is similar. i have single qa1s on all4 corners and qa1 coil over springs in rear(12" #130). i have a arb with double adj. upper and had non adj lowers. the front has tricksprings #212 which they did help with weight transfer. i'm...

    Moser 9" "Bolt-in" Rear for G-Body ???

    i never thought of it as that big of a deal on mine except might wear shock bushing out prematurely. that might have something to with my crappy 60ft.(mid 1.50s avg.) but since i have double adj. lower control arms going on it now i'm not going to get to concern. thanks for posting i've been...

    60ft improvement

    yeah i have to do the same because that converter i'm using was behind a 14 degree 406 that made about 750hp. i bought it and stuck it behind my motor because it had the same stall(5600) that i needed. i will do that and a t-brake while i'm getting the other motor ready.

    60ft improvement

    i have a 5600 converter in good air but this time of year its more like a 5400. Before i changed gears i was trapping at 7600 in the 1/4 and in hi gear before the 1/8. since i didnt run the 1/4 i cant tell but by rule of thumb its 300rpm for every gear ratio. so i'll say in the 1/4 i should trap...

    60ft improvement

    well i change gear to a 3.89 from a 4.57 and the 60ft. didnt pick up neither did the e.t. everything stayed the same. i save a ton of rpm and i come to the conclusion that it may be my converter.

    no rear brakes

    i come to find out that my rear brakes dont work because they are not getting any fluid. i took the lines off the rear distribution block to see if it was stopped up. i press the pedal no fluid. then i took the rubber line off from the hard line no fluid. then i took the hard line off...

    rear springs??

    you have an arb so there's no need for trick springs . have qa1s coil over on mine and they were $70 for both. they are 12" 130lb spring but if you want your car to sit higher go 14" 130-150lb. mine is 26.75 in from ground to fender opening. and this is with a 28x10.5 m/t
