What are your winter plans for the car?

[BULL]

Looks like it could be time consuming

I ll do a little research on it

It was NOT quick, I also did some DA buffer work first, although I'm not sure how much that really added to the end result or not. I'm glad I did it, but it took a while.

I'm glad mine is a Garage Queen, that made it easy to break it up over a chunk of time.

I'm going to go the other way. Those super low 60s are hard on the driveline when you're trying to move a 4600 lb street car. 1.35ish is good enough. We will be going alot faster ...but not doing it at the 60 ft as we want the car to live and be reliable. Over the winter, the goal is an 8 seond daily driver with minimal mods that doesn't break every 3rd pass. We will continue work in the winter to get there.

You are not kidding about hard on parts .
Last night while inspecting the rear suspension on my car I noticed I bent one of the factory front upper control arms! The stamped steel one.( my AAD's are out getting upgrades )

Yep, and you just made my point. Breaking sucks and that's exactly what I don't want to be doing. The better your 60fts...the more you will break once you cross a certain threshold. I'm trying to avoid all that race suspension stuff and the uncivilized ride that comes with it. I want the nice streetcar ride and a fast car at the track. 3 years ago, going 9s was considered fast. Today, 8s are the new 9s. Most need to turn their street car into a race car to get there and I won't do that. I think mid 1.3x is about the limit for stock suspension if you race alot and don't want to break every week.

I refuse to give up street manners also . There is a lot of stock parts on my car ( some from a different model but still stock )

I'm with @Hpindy and @Phast Hemi on the street car deal. I don't wanna build a race car. If that were my goal I'd start with a different car all together like a V6 Challenger and gut/build that.

I like upgrading things that improve track performance and durability, but not at the expense of street manners. 9s is plenty fast for what I'm doing and I'll personally be happy with consistent low 1.4x 60 foots. That'll have me closing in on 9.50s.

I will say the AAD arms with the polyurethane bushings are very street friendly. But once you go crazy and replace every single bushing then it gets a bit much for my liking . I pulled out my AAD arms because I was chasing a clunking and it turned out to an upper shock mount . . I didn't bother putting the AAD arms back in because it was so late in the year I figured I'd do it over the winter . I tried a few different things back there and I'm settling on the cradle lock out kit, AAD arms and DIRS . That's it for the aftermarket stuff . The rest is stock or stock replacement parts from a different model. We all have a different idea of what we want so some times you need to test for yourself .

Those goals are very achievable on stock suspension.

I have already proven that on pump gas .
But for me the lower tension arm and stamped steel upper arm are questionable for long term reliability that those speeds and sixty foots . But that's me ,

Going to drive the crap out of mine if we ever get clear of the Chinese virus. Only got 2300 miles on the Redeye. Winter time here is the best time of year.

Really, when you get right down to it, look at all those $100 bills...
