ok - stock, worn out shocks to RMS tubular uppers, adjustable strut rods and QA1 Shocks ( single adjustable) what do you think the 60' difference would be for a mid 11 sec street car? ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/popcrn.gif)

save your money, buy some cheap 90-10's and upgrade your converter ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Twocents.gif) running 12.50's I'd expect about a mid 1.6 60'. Are you having traction problems??? What do you have for rear suspension???

I would disagree on the shocks... a godd set of adjustable shocks are usually better than a so called 90/10 because they usually arent what you think they are for the extension... I use to buy the cheap shocks years ago and they were some what better than stock but when I finally bought a set of adjustable the 60' dropped with no other changes....... JMO On the OP Q .... if all else is equal you might see .1..... just a guess ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif)

this is not referring to my car - I was asking for an 11 sec car...
Anyway - The car is a 68 Coronet vert, runs pretty strong, too strong without a cage actually and had worn out shocks in it during the initial tests - the setup was completely stock and we swapped to this :

So with a 1.71 60' time what do you think the gains were going over to the QA1 / RMS setup?

He might see .3 maybe more... he's going to really free up the front end for better transfer but it will also depend on the rear suspension.... JMO ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif)

You better spill the beans because I'm making the same swap
ok.... ok....
first of all we could only test the 60' as the car did not have a cage, it's ahakedown run with a little over idle launch, and getting out of it around 1000' was in the high 11's ( his first time out with the new motor) we were either going to scrap the test or just do 60' times...
after that the numbers are what they are - I was surprised and Bill from RMS was even impressed. The pictures show the alignment difference, you cant mistake that!

That seems pretty bad before, were the tires spinning? Something was out of wack, IMO.
Target: Sixty foot = 0.12*ET + .17 For an 11 second car should go: .12*(11.0) + .17 = 1.49
