F-Body Europe

The time are not impressive. I have a 305 with 145,000 miles on it. Now remember times are realy $hitty. First off I ran 16.5 on motor alone. Second run with power adder 15.0. You probably want to know what kind of power adder. Well it's a 75hp shot of the GO/GO juice.

I just wonder what it will co with a custom program and a built 383?
Did I tell you I am satisfied with my Power that I have My focus will be safety this winter do not need no more power next year. I like the streetable factor I have drove it 15000 miles this summer.

I had better traction when the track was warm.

Well we are going to find out next year how it all fits together. I should be around 450 to 470hp at the motor(without the GO/GO juice). We will see.
You need to start looking a safety. You have the mph down(138 is fast for the 1/4). You just have to get those 60ft times down. If you hook, I bet you will be in the 10's.

I agree, 10s are definitely in sight for the Hawk! Do you have a torque arm Hawk? Did you remove the front sway bar?

yes to both questions Lowering springs and stock shocks are alowing the front to settle this is causing me to spin above 6000 in 1, 2& 3. V 6 springs with hals and rear drag bar should solve the problem. Trying to find a set of weld draglights skinnies up front and 10 in drag ET slicks out back. when I put the roll cage in I will put the battery in the trunk also a couple other weigt transferring thingy's

Kewl, check ebay for those wheels. They usually have some people selling stuff at great bargains!

Thanks if you see som let me know. I will have a set of street ET's for sale at that point.

Hawk, first of all, good job running mid 11's. But, 138mph and your only running mid 11's?????? The 9 sec cars arent running much faster. You definatelly have a case of to much vs. not enough.

The time has come my friend, to $hit or get off the pot. Do you want to run the numbers? Then set your car up for it. If not, than I dont see any better than low 11's for your car.

If you relocate the battery, than you have to have a shut off installed. Also with your times, if they are up on the rule book, your looking at a 1 layer suit at a minimum. Also if you install a 6pt, than by NHRA rules you must have a 5pt harness if your car is faster than 12 flat. BTW those must be recertified every 2 years, or replaced. And the last rule I feel like spitting out, is that a window net is required on all cars trapping 135mph or more, or ET of 9.99 or better.

Once again great job getting your middle 11's.

Thanks & Yup you are right trying to have the best of both worlds though. Tony told me to slow down or put a roll cage in before next year. He said roll cage is required above 135MPH does not matter times. I know there is a change for 10.99 and quicker? I know it is a fairly new change But I do not plan to run 9's I will be happy with 10's So I plan to put Hals in with V6 spring a BMR Drag launch bar and roll cage however having problems understanding the rules and what is required. I think the MPH will drop if I get the wheels up but I really do not care at this point I want to run 10's next year and drive it everyday except in the rain.

Thats how they get ya. The major changes happen as soon as you run the 9.99. The least of which is the 9 sec lic you'll need, and I bet it would be almost impossible to get over there. The problem for you is the 9.99et, OR 135mph+ traps. Either way you'd be screwed. Tire wise, I think your good, cept might think about a taller tire. The traction is there if the suspension is. The drag radial class is full of 8sec cars, but they have billion dollar ultra trick 4 or 5 link suspensions.

Possible a dual stage on the gas. ie 50-75 out the gate, and another 100 about 2-3sec later when you have solid traction.

You have mad power, just need to find a way to control it.

I did a 150-175 hit @the lights and did not lift problem was 6000-6800 RPM's and trying to move the 3800lb car foward. Thanks for the advice I know those tires are sticky cause I launch @ 4800 I get the initial transfer and then loose it and the wheels spin above 6000.

I got the plan for high 10's @ 130 and still streetable. It will be a wheels (plural) up launch.

Man you should be wheels up now!

That would be nice From the video I have seen it looks like it wants to but does not.

I know, it should not be too hard with the correct setup.

we shall see 03 I know I am pushing steetability.

Insane....that is what the Hawk is!!

Thanks to the hoopty I am willing to push it a bit more this year it was primary means next year it will be primary on the nice days. Check out stars and stripes tommarrow.

why?
