Night Hawk Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Hey all, Hope all is going well. I'm throwing this up for next years plan. I'm going with eibach springs replacement shocks, 170 thermo and downpipes with the tune upgrade. My goal is consistent 12.50s as I plan on spending more time at the track. -Hawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjht Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 What shocks do you plan to go with? Who is making them for our cars? I'd love to firm the ride up a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Hawk Posted December 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I was going to go with simple Ford replacements, but I wanted to see if the PP cars have a different part number i.e. valving while I'm at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulford8 Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I like the shock idea, let everybody know if you find something out. I am pretty much power modded out.... Would like a dyno tune though. Just added SHO side emblems, also want to add the rear window wing and get a good detail. I want to be 11.9 like everybody else but realistically I will be happy if I can reach the 12.1-12.3 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Hawk Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Well as an update, ordered the above mentioned parts, and yes Rock auto had a diff part number for the shocks and struts for the pp cars, so I upgraded! Figured what thw hell, while I'm in there, with 76k on the ticker it was a no brainier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve142857 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Well my goal for 2013 is 11.9sec. My ingredients are: 2013 PP SHO H&R springs Airaid CAI Tstat170 Colder spark plugs Custom exhaust (x-pipe, 2.5" tubing, dynomax, 4.5" tips) Catted downpipes Alky control meth injection Aftermarket summer wheels Hankook Ventus performance summer tires Livernois tune Twin turbo decals! If I ran many runs on three different days between 12.09 and 12.12 between 116-118mph with a 2010 non-PP without downpipes, that new baby should bring that little push needed to reach my goal!

Paulford8 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Thanks Night Hawk that is good info! I dont think shocks are on my list this year, but when I do them prob PP shocks like you did. Who knows maybe stiffer! Steve my goal is to beat you to 11.9. How in the heck didnt you run 11.9 before? I just put my 20" wheels with summer tires on last week. REALLY hooks now, much better then before with the 19" and 40K tires. Think it will do much better at the track then my 12.43 spinning. Also going to try and take the rear seat out and some other crap April 13th will be my first attempt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should do better with better traction, but it is getting harder and harder to lower that time you'll see! Look at crash712 with his 12.25 with same mods or bpdmike with about the same time 12.2 or 12.3 and he even has the downpipes! So, for a non-PP and no downpipes, I believe my 12.09 will be hard to beat... I needed to be at a fast track, well prepped, tail wind, cool weather ... But hey! good luck buddy! I'd be very happy for you if you were to get in the 11's, even if it is before me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulford8 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Best 60 was 1.83 I believe and that was spinning like crazy. It feels better with the 20s and summer tires, hopefully it performs better. My run was at me weighing 200+, I am now 170. Also as mentioned I am going to try and take some weight out race weekend. Said my goal was to beat you to it, never said I thought it was likely Wouldnt surprise me at all if as she sits with the summer 20" and weight reduction I dont even see 12.0's. I expect 12.1-12.3 range but am hoping for better..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulford8 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Nope sorry mistaken. Best previous run was 1.87 60, 8.012 1/8, 12.43 at 111 MPH. That was with downpipes and 5+ but still had the stock 19"s and original factory tires with 38K on them. It was also Jan 1 and the track had no grip made worse with my tires. STILL the best run of anybody in 2013!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
