Does your car hook up? Could use some pointers

What are the Micky's 15, 16?

They are the 16" ones mounted on V6 mustang wheels.

I need to get back to the track. They stuck decent on a prepped track.

I spoke to a buddy and he indicated that our springs are quite a bit softer (he has the same coils) then most of the drop spring setups are.

put an automatic in it.

Our 240 won't spin the tires unless it's less then 35 degrees. and that makes 410RWHP and should weigh less then your car. its also only on a 225/50/15 BFG Drag Radial.

What do you have for suspension in Liz's car nick?

I have considered an Auto, but this isn't a full drag car and I don't much like driving automatics!

i have pretty much stock everything in my buick,except for a set of comp adjustable shocks,i set the fronts to super sloppy slut box mode.And the rears are set to lil mush for the push.I have only replaced the rear bushings in the controle arms with polys,and boxed both upper and lower arms.Bushings in stuff make a huge difference.Everyone has there argument on sway bars etc.I still have both front and rear.I run a mt street radial at 27psi both sides.

I think running everything as soft as I can is going to be my best bet. My car will never hook like a G body.. that I am okay with!

Soft all around will probably work the best for you....... The hardest thing about IRS is what figures instant center?

Megan street coilovers, set to full soft.
Megan traction rods
Megan tension rods.
Megan rear upper control arms
Tein Tie rods (inner/outter)
Prothane polyurethane bushings througout the car.
East bear 8pt bolt in cage.
225.50.15 BFG G-Force T/a Drag Radial.

we have since removed the bolt in cage in favor of a weld in custom 6pt. cage. but have done some new stuff so we will see how it hooks this year.

Interesting, my suspension should actually work a bit better since my coils are softer than the megans (which I did have for a few years).

Thanks Nick.

i'm not sure. but what diff. are you running in your car? maybe it isn't "locking" up enough?

Also whats your alignment at? when we had it aligned we had them to it to all factory specs.

I am totally factory alignment wise. I am spinning both tires, using a VLSD out of a J30 (which frankly, should be on my list of parts to replace).

I need to get the new clutch in and broken in so I can work on my launches.
