[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 15087131, member: 68944"] You'll be hooking and moving out man, it'll rip. I had mm poly bushings, coil overs, flsc and so on, stock pumkin, stock shafts, and could beat awd sti's to 60mph when I was bolt on mods at 470whp/490wtq. I had 17" nt555r's. If I had that combo with nt05r's or something as sticky, I could see it pulling easy 1.70-1.65 60fts. For an idea, sti's and evo's are right about 1.75-1.85 driver/launch dependant from what I've seen. Basically, you'll be rippn out if you can launch it well. I've also seen built irs cobra guys struggle to run 1.8's on slicks so it's definitely driver mod required. The right clutch helps a ton though. I had a spec stage 3+ back when I was bolt ons. Shocks wise, I have tired and worn stockers. The bilsteins are a good all around setup, but I'm looking to get the sport valved ones mm sells with specced springs based on my cars proportions/specs. I haven't pulled the trigger yet because I want to research if anyone makes a great alternative like a mag shock or nice electronically adjustable shock kinda like tein et al do for the import scene. Ive heard the qa1's are very adjustable, and from what I've read, about 6-8 clicks does a great area to play in for various driving. It depends on your areas road conditions etc. I'd imagine for drag racing, 3-5 clicks in is good depending on front settings, and for bumpier/uneven circuit events, 7-8, for smooth tracks maybe 9-10, and for parking lot/totally flat cone challenges and auto-x, maybe 11-12 but you'd need it like paper smooth id imagine, all of that is just guestimation, I can't say that it'd hold any water, but if I was tuning and adjusting with those shocks I'd start in those ranges, and look up what others are running. Oh, you mentioned your differential was pretty toast, if it's in your budget, upgrade to a Detroit tru trac, auburn, or torsen.
