[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 12945538, member: 20202"] I'm not sure the motor can be moved back any significant amount. There is very little clearance with the firewall. Actually Maximum Motorsports did just what you posted here with an SRA and the IRS swapping as many of the suspension components from both suspension right down to the tires. The results was the IRS car was gaining about 5-10 seconds on the SRA car every lap. At the end of a 20 minute heat that would be pretty significant Almost everyone who does an SRA swap has very little-to-no interest in the cars cornering ability. If they did and have a clear understanding of suspension dynamics they would have never embarked on this swap. For a hard core drag racer this mod makes sense but that's about the only place it does. I'm not sure what you mean by this. Are you suggesting an IRS is a relative new technology to the chassis engineers at Ford? Both set-ups use the same center section (diff). The engineers have a lot more option with respect to the suspension geometry when designing an IRS where the wheel position can and does change setting as the wheel moves in its travel and when the car pitches and rolls. An SRA? ............not so much. All Modern performance cars with exception of the Mustang uses an IRS. There is a reason for that. I think most drivers would agree with this statement. I think a road racer would do a "double take". Can you imagine a Cobra R guy doing this swap? You would have to pry the IRS from his cold dead fingers :mj: [/QUOTE]
