how fast is the world's quickest stock suspension H-body,just wondering,does it have a stock rear or stock suspension on a non stock rear,not judging the car,it looks like fun to drive and launches flat,we can all learn a little from a well sorted combo,

I agree,
DETAILS, DETAILS (plz)
and more pics :th:
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.

Front and rear suspension is legal for NHRA Stock Eliminator and everything bolts to factory mounting points. The rear end is a 10 bolt with all brackets in the factory locations, it was set up using a jig from the factory rear.. The car has been 9.40 with boxed factory lower control arms and braced factory torque arm a few years ago. Thats what I am basing the sig on, I dont know of anyone going quicker than that so far with that set up.

The 9.40 was a known number on factory stuff.

Thats a shame your going to limit it to 12 psi, I really was hoping for a good heads up drag race but I do understand wanting reliability.

just asking,,, but is 9.40's not possible @12psi or are you now running faster? i'm shooting for 650rwhp,hope the conversion goes well so we can see what IS possible,Rowdy running 145mph with his setup will be my starting point as my build appears to be a little more aggressive,I will have traction as i know what it takes,of course its all bench racing untill its up and running,either way car will be very quick,both my cars are now sitting empty waiting for the engine,f-body or h-body,,hard choice,,engine is tore down and will start going together soon,,will keep you posted,,

is that car n/a or boosted?? talked to my GN buddy about the build and expectations at the track,his point to me was " you went 10.30 @ 128 with less than 470rwhp,what could you do with almost 650rwhp " he runs his buicks to 26psi and into the 8's on massive wheelies,one run on youtube he damaged the car and still went 9.6, with the down pipe knocked sideways,check it out

87 Grand National Stage 2 Motor 26lbs boost launch at cordova IL

getting into gear on the build and hope to see some progress this month,1st up is the crossover pipe then from there its all easy,,
