The video 318 will win Posted was almost 2 years old and I've got a couple things figured out period please this is not about that at all.
Hey, why didn't I think of that..... 318willwin....The video 318 will win Posted was almost 2 years old and I've got a couple things figured out period please this is not about that at all.
Jpar, while I have not had that much power on the street, what have have done in the past with my heavier E body 4spd and BF Goodrich tires was a low rpm dump or a slight higher rpm launch with a slower engagement of the clutch. Once it grabs, the pedal goes down as quick as the tires can handle it.
It takes a lot of practice and understanding of the road and the day's conditions to learn what the car will handle for that moment.
When in doubt, walk it out, stomp the go pedal as much as permissible by the car.
The E body chassis set ups was never extensive. Basic parts. S/S springs, soft air shocks, dead front shocks, snubber about 1/2 to 3/4 from the floor. 275/60/15 rear tires.
My current build is a street/strip 71 dart. As light as possible (shooting for 2700ish). Rear suspension is yet to be determined. I'm waiting on a sketch of control freaks parallel 4 link to see if I like the geometry (the arms are short to retain the rear seat). Ford 8.8 rear. Mini tub 325 drag radials. Coil over, rack and pinion front end. Double adjustables all around. 12pt cage. Engine is yet to be determined (K-frame is obviously gone, so it'll be hung from a plate). Either a gen3 or a LS. Either way it'll be carb/TBI and roughly 550hp. Trans will be a 4060L.I'm asking if you will again, how would you you you you you make 550 Plus horsepower hook on the street. Not me not my car.
High on my todo list...That's why you use a 2 step to control launch RPM. It's just another tool you can use to compensate for track and weather conditions.

J par, What ya need to do to your rear shocks is...... Ooops
I saw a guy hook with a 9.20 140 mph+ car, but it was a AWD Eagle Talon. Yep, 4 banger with big BIG boost
Well you should have told the 20 year old kid back then.That's why you use a 2 step to control launch RPM. It's just another tool you can use to compensate for track and weather conditions.

Good to state it here and now for those who need the info, with a good example.
Okay steering This Thread back on track again LOL I'm not asking about my car at all. I know it sucks on the tracks I know I'm not getting traction I know my rear end is junk I know my suspension is junk I know I know I know. I'm asking if you will again, how would you you you you you make 550 Plus horsepower hook on the street. Not me not my car.
JPar,
You claim you aren't talking/refering to YOUR car about hooking, that you are asking some hypothetical 550hp street car hooking up on the street...........thing is, after 8 to 10 pages of suggestions, build recipes, ideas, a,b,c, 1,2,3 connect the dots lay outs of "HOW TO" you just might find some information you could use on your car (even though you claim not to be) so that it doesn't quite suck (your descriptor) so much. Hook is hook.........if you can hook 250hp and really make it work, you can hook 500, a 1000hp. Regardless of the amount of power basic universal principals apply at any level; that's what needs to be learned, and understood. You've been working on this "hypothetical" car now for 3 years...............
Good luck!

peg leg don't count. ha ha, get a grip ! a suregrip.well, i took my duster out on nitto drag radials today for the first time
still broke loose unless i eased into it, and thats with 420 horses and 3.23 gears

My car 3330 with me in it with big block and 525 hp and 552 tq. Tires are Mcreary or all American racer tires. Soft tread pattern. 10" converter flashes to 3800 and 3.73 gears. Afco rear leafs,adjustable pinion snubber. Rancho 10 position shocks on the rear, and Strange 10 position shocks up front with 340 bars. Run tires at 20 psi for street driving, after a couple of hits they get heat in them and bite. Evident by the wrinkled side walls and getting thrown into the seat feeling.
I have read numerous times, that nitto radials don`t hook as good as others. jfyi ???well, i took my duster out on nitto drag radials today for the first time
