Some setup advice required.
Also I absolutely smoked a new mustang at the lights last night, by at least 4 car lengths.
My car is a factory 67 barracuda formula S big block 4 speed car.
1. 6 cylinder torsion bars ( which ones?)
2. 002, 003 SS springs with longer shocks. As YR mentioned, the cal tracks or Assassin set up on sliders really do well. You can use sliders with the S/S springs. No one will see them.
3. Maybe a spring relocation kit to the rail?
4. Pinion snubber -
* suggestions on pinion angle for this application.
5. Tyre choice. I love the idea of leaf spring radial class. So maybe a nitto drag radial??
6. Weight reduction. Put a hemi hood or similar on it. That factory one weighs **** loads.
7. Shocks. Maybe Viking double adjustables
Smoked a Mustang huh? Good job, stay safe while doing such. I heard horse smoke causes cancer... LMAO!
1 All /6 bars are the same. You can not swap in another bodies bars. The A body has the thinnest bars.
MP has thinner bars for drag racing.
2: The springs are designed for the cars total race weight. Use with the Viking shocks. Contact PST a vendor here.
3: The inboard spring relocation kit is OK. The kit that moves the springs into the frame rail provides more room than the off set hangers do.
4: Pinion snubber is OK. Some have had good luck, others not so much.
5: I found the Micky Thompson tires very good.
6: A weight reduction everywhere is a huge help. IMO, and what I’m doing is not only the hood but also fenders, bumpers, trunk lid. On the race ride, doors as well and Lexan windows. But that is pretty extreme for a street ride.
7: Yes. Contact PST, a vendor here.
