No, you do not sound dismissive at all. I am well aware of the limitations of my setup right now, or to be more correct the limitations of the adjustments I can make given my primary criteria (that being road handling), but I figured I'd run this by the group here to see what others may have...

As it happens I have the required front hangers as well to install the shorter (front segment) SS springs, but honestly was hoping that would not be necessary. My best 60' time was 1.870 and most of them are over 2.0. Nope, I have the clamps placed at all the factory locations.

Folks! Alright...so my Coupe is no drag racing machine, however proper setup should never be lost on anyone, so I've started to look at the leaf-spring geometry seeing that last time out at the track I was showing dismal 60' times and the video of car launching showed barely any chassis...

Nice...I like the sound of that...but high-10's is no easy feat, so at the risk of sounding like 'Debbie Downer', going that fast will take a bit of a budget! Regardless, there are some FAST cars on our forum here, so you've got some great peeps here to converse with and exchange ideas with...

Good news there is that we do actually have some chassis products from aftermarket (FirmFeel), so with a little fabrication (installing the pre-made stuff) you can stiffen things up a bit, which will lend itself to a better behaved autocross ride! Keep in mind though, drag racing vs autocross...

I can't do it...mostly b/c I'm already invested, albeit at a much lower entry point, probably TWO of my most successful mopar m-body purchases ever (tax & shipping included): 1) NOS grille for $252 USD back in Feb_2010 2) NOS grille for $75 CAD back in Dec_2012 ...and yeah, you could say "holy...

Very nice...and I can certainly relate to that "blood sweat and tears" remark!

I realize these are very rare, but holy smokes...$600??? There is another one out there that I've been watching and I think the seller is looking for $500...

So HS stuff is good, but pricey. Why not look at some alternatives instead? For example ProForm has 1.6 ratio rockers, bronze bushed (this is nice). If you are going to stick with the HS stuff here are a few notes worth mentioning given my experience with their rockers on the W2 build: 1) I...

Damn...it was at like $40 when I posted here. What did I tell ya: Carter TQ is the hottest carb out there...there you have it!!! (LOL, but c'mon, they are great carbs)

Folks! If any of you are committed to staying with the Carter TQ carb, here is a decently priced 9810s model...that's the GM linkage EGR version, easy to adapt any way for Mopar use. Anyways...the 9800 series carbs use the electric choke that's attached to the carb body, which basically frees...

Wagon!!!! Nice man...welcome to the forum.

Check out these Scosche Bluetooth radio transmitters: https://www.scosche.com/consumer-tech/car-accessories/fm-transmitters?srsltid=AfmBOorkijHS9ft4TFJtLsYn-56z7_0rd9QKFScFPH6io6-GfRog7_DC Basically the way these work is that you pair them up with your phone and on the radio itself you tune in...

It is very cool what you already have there, I didn't realize this 360 build was done. Yeah, 360 is a potent motor, I used to run one for many years and it was a great power plant.

Infiniti Dave! Welcome to the forum...it is certainly the right place for such project discussions, so let me toss this one right at ya: why 360 and not a 408 stroker???
