louis that was a great post. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif



srt-4, the first thing you have to realize is these cars are 10 years old (ok not the 94 and 95 just bear with me). you will have to replace things. you might as well get the car 'up to par' so to say.... vacuum hoses, possibly new bushings, worn interior pieces, yadda yadda yadda. get those little things fixed first, then focus on reliability like Srce and wraith mentioned. if your car isn't running right and you dump 5 grand in mods into it at the same time, it's going to run even worse, and you'll have a helluva time trying to figure out what the problem is.

My setup is good for an 11 second timeslip on pump gas, daily driver, and has proven reliable thus far. Gotham has built a few FDs similar to mine, it's not all that hard. Just need a strong ported motor, BNR twins in parallel, and all the supporting fuel/power mods.

What, you don't want a Ferrari? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

good point rich. there are prolly 20 different set ups with turbos and misc. **** that can net an 11 sec timeslips for the fd. some are higher modded ones with guys who are not very good drivers, and the other ones are lesser modded versions with the **** driven ou tof them. the both have their pro's and con's.....just decide. like i said make sure you have the "platform" as rich implied, a strong ported motor, and then pick your poison from there. hybrid twins, single.....yadda....

i'll take 2 ferraris.....

An 11 second street driver ain't all that tough.



I'm not quite there yet but pretty close and I pass Maryland clean air tests too because I am still running a cat. A midpipe would cinch it.

tcb100, very nice times. Were those runs on DRs?

Werd!!

I agree... with a supra you wont have to worry about all the problems.. and Supras are easier to maintain

i dont think you will need a ported motor. if you stick with the stock motor you will need to get larger injectors and engine management. not to say that porting is a bad thing, if you got the extra money a mild street port is nice. porting will affect driveability and idle depending on the extremity.

I have to agree with joe flo, if you want to drag race often, go 11's while being reliable doing this, the supra is a better choice.
