I did something very similar to this once.

I had a reasonably hot, for the time, bracket engine in a dedicated bracket car with the soft front end, 90/10 shock, SS leafs, slicks, lightweight wheels, the whole shebang for bracket racing. This car would run lows twelves @ 105mph.

I transplanted this engine in to a street car that was built to be a handling chassis. It had the requisite subframe conenctors and bracing, bigger t-bars, huge sway bars, gas charged high pressure shocks, XHD leafs and was low to the ground with fat tires all around. It also did drag strip duty and in this set up I was giving up a full second in absolute e.t. and was running 13.2, also at 105mph. At the strip I did swap on the drag slicks and the rear gearing between the two was the same. So while the e.t. was not hugely impacted, something I did notice was that the handling set up was considerably more consistent and my e.t.s tended to not be as variable as the dedicated bracket car was. It also was less sensitive to atmospheric changes and over all was a lot more fun car to bracket race than the dedicated drag car.

thanks ive always wondered about that!what was the lbs of the two cars?i think the thinking comes from superimposing how horrible a drag car handles with how a handling car drag races-thats why a lot of peaple think you loose alot at the strip.hten again imagine an 8 second car with a handling suspension swapped in
