142 in the 1/8th? Damn, what's your hurry? Even run a real track (1/4)?

All of our heads up racing is 1/8 mile. I'm not sure I would like to be in it for a 1/4... Should go well over 170 if it were geared correct. I would have to put a set of 3.25's in it!!

Kinda funny with the 3.25 idea. My bud Steve Smith has the fastest street car in town with a best [email protected]. His 1/8th mile is right at 136. But he is limited by gears and tire diameter and he is already striping at 7780 on his logger.

Two things are apparent. Turbo cars to pick up the back end more than a spray car typically, and you have a 7 second car:thumbsup:

Still have the coil over springs and stock mounting locations on the rear? Aftermarket housing right?

Yes, 12" 150 spring in stock location, a quick performance 9" housing and AFCO double adjustable shocks also in stock location. The factory mounting points for the control arms are also stock and only braced up.

Impressive. Just goes to show how well these cars can work with the "factory" setup. Mine is sitting at about the same ride, but the upper mounts on the stock housing are killing me.
