not only that...i'm thinking about a supercharger...whats wrong with having a handling supercharged stang and a nitrious assisted drag car ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
dont worry...summer is coming...look for my daily to be open header, no interior, sitting like a four by four popping wheelies on a street near you...lol

Maximum Motorsports.
Dropped 2/10 off my 60' on a consistent basis and tightened up the handling quite a bit.

I think you should get Steeda or Maximum Motorsport lowers with Steeda adjustable uppers...When you get the adjustable uppers you can change the pinion angle for drag racing or regular street driving.....That would probably be best bang for buck...
You could go all out with coil overs and a MM rear sway bar and MM drag racing lowers with sperical bearings at both ends of the lower control arms... ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
Weight tranfer is more important in drag racing so, I think you should think about your shocks, if you dont already have some.....

are you planing on a panhard/torque arm setup?
if so, don't waste the money on the uppers.

That is very light. When my friend built his notchback, We cut out all of the double wall in the car, the doors are completely gutted, every bit of sound deadener was removed, dash, heater box, everything that didn't need to be there was removed. It now weighs 2560 without a driver, and no fuel.

You havent seen a car gutted until its "CASTRO" modified.

I didn't say it's impossible, but I can't think of any more shit to cut out of this car.

yep yep..my 91 with stock k member, stock a arms, stock gas tank with ground affects and a ten point cage weighed 2660 without exhaust and 2700 with exhaust. Now, I got a coupe which already is lighter, cut out the spare tire area, got a five gallon fuel cell, tubular k member, tubular a arms, gutted the shit out of the car to the affect that if it doesn't make it go fast and is not needed it is gone. also, its a carberated car so I lose a shitload on wiring, and all the fuel injection crap. oh yes...23xx it will be
