how much hp and tq can a stock vega body plant in a dragrace

[shytebucket]

I know of a "POS" H-body that is running the times you are looking for with sub frame connectors and a cage. Also doing it with stock supension non tubbed and non narrowed.
It can be done with a really small tire but not as easy to do.

Can you add some pictures of the car or do you have a write up similar to what this guy did?

...because tires sticking out the sides of cars is one good thing that went away with the 70's. Personally, I think it looks like dog sh*t.

my car has a 275/60/15 dragradial on it out back and trust me there is no way that tire will fit . not without beating the hell out of the wheel lip and strectching the 1/4 panels , mine only fit because i have a narrowed rearend and my car is minitubbed . i have not hammered the wheel lip yet ( car is still in mock-up stage ) and as it sits right now the tire will not turn on the car without tearing up the tire and damaging the 1/4 panels . with a little beating with a hammer and the car sitting a little higher in the back a 275/50/15 might fit , but it will stick out of the car with that width of tire and i will more then likely rub on the inside of the wheelwell .

have you ever thought about shock extensions and spring spacers ? they fix that problem and whats wrong with the tires sticking out the sides ? id rather them stick out the sides the to mini tub the car

the tire size is the issue the vega wheelwell is designd for a 22' DIA tire so unless you strectch the wheel well a 28" tire is NOT gonna fit . and using shock extension and spring spacers is not something i,d even consider , especially at the speeds you are considering

Not only that but you are not going to be able to get proper weight transfer and handling with the back end jacked up in the air and the tires sticking out the side. And the type of times you are dreaming of are definitely going to require a car that goes real straight. With a proper frame. And a cage. And a lot of bucks.
I cant believe I am even getting involved in this silly conversation.

I seem to remember you started talking shit half way down page 2.

I'm losing my patience with you. These users should not have to prove themselves. They have running cars and have already dealt with the issues you feel you can circumvent.

Rather than let this pissing contest continue I am going to lock this thread. If you want to start another civil thread, be my guest.

I usually only give one warning.
