might have a more open budget for the car.

[fangs99]

tonight i met a young guy and his wife that whant to buy my truck. if that happens, thats an extra 230-250 a month and to day i started to get paid for 2nd so i'm thinking a budget of 300-350 a month on the car and still have a little to put in savings. after the JLT, SCT, STEEDA pullies, not sure what i'll save for. do yall think the irs is worth the extra weight for a all around street car or would a straite axle w/ a panhard bar or watts link be better?

 

[wikedcobra312]

you know, i like my irs and that extra stability i have when taking corners

 

[fangs99]

but, how hard are you really gonna push it on the street? i'm thinking if a watts link will handle almost as well as irs but plant it better in a strait line and cut weight. then it might be a better choice. if i went to a road corse more than the strip then irs would be the best choice. i like road corse's and would like go to one one day, but most track events that i will get to socalise with you guys is 1/4 mile.

 

[wikedcobra312]

i see your point, i am not really a 1/4 mile guy, because of fear that my irs will blow, i do plan on doing road courses though. so from the sound of it i believe i see which way your leaning.

 

[fangs99]

and the watts link is for cornering. do you know about what the weight diff is between the irs and live axle?

 

[dope3]

that cool its always nice to have more cash for the stang

 

[beejay31000]

ii would stick with IRS....just dont launch hard. that little weight wont make too big of a difference....make it up with more power.

8's all day even with BJ's big ass in the car. LMAO J/K BJ

i like my live axle and my car handles like a beast! congrats on finally getting paid sounds like you have the same plan car wise and money wise as i do.

 

[fangs99]

i whant my car n/a to run close to a stock termy. and i whant to do this with 3.55's and a t-56. the way i'll make up what i lack in hp i'll make up in less weight and more traction.

 

[VP_07SRT8]

hells yeah thats my goal too but i went the 4.10 route ill let you know how it feels in about 2 weeks when its together. for weight i did rear seat delete, race seats, fiberglass hood, no stereo and speakers, no ac

oh yea, well, im actually a good form of weight reduction. i get in the car and it gets lighter! somehow....lol.

let me drive and i will be in the 6's...HAHA i dont weigh 200lbs, i weigh -200lbs

 

[beejay31000]

cause speakers are so heavy!, vp, cut half of your legs off for weight reduction, you dont need them that long

 

[fangs99]

i like the go faster w/ more hp idea. thats why i'm not gearing down any lower than 3.55's my other idea was to change the internals of the rear diff to 03 cobra 31 spline and go w/ level 5 half shafts. and an eletric locker diff.
but there's the extra weight of the irs that will slow it down.

 

[VP_07SRT8]

sounds like a bad ass plan though

 

[beejay31000]

is it gonna be a drag car only...if not i wouldnt waste the money til you need too.

 

[fangs99]

no it's gonna be a all around street car that gets magazine's whanting to put it on there cover.

 

[VP_07SRT8]

thats my goal too!
