Thats pretty awsome! The car really seems to respond to bolt-ons considering there really isnt anything major done. Very impressive 60' from an IRS car. Any other modifications to the rear axel other than the 3.70 gears?

Congrats! That is impressive.

I'm sure those drag radials gave a nice bite out of the hole.

Great job!

i was thinking the same, hell i couldnt get under a 1.9 on nitto drag radials in the cobra. irs is great for handling, but troublesome for launching. glad these cars have strong half shafts! gto's were terrible!

chrish

are the ve's running the l76? that quite a big jump in gear ratio as i think i read the stock is a 2.90.

I believe it's the L98 which is the same motor minus the AFM.

so you can easily make the L76 into the L98 and then go from there?
