i've wanted to try land speed racing for a long time now and i think i might just give it a try.
i just need a few opinions on how to turn a car that was set up for racing in the 1/4 mile to one that could do well in a full mile.
i guess the 5.13's and 3500 stall have to go, but what gears and stall would be best? i've pegged the stock 130 speedo with 3.42's but i don't remember how long it took to get there. is there a fourmula for 1 mile racing like there is for 1/4 mile that would help me pick out a set of gears, rather than just throwing in a set of 2.73's or 3.08's?
i was also thinking about maybe a 2200 stall or something like that rather than a stock one. any opinions here?
i have 3 way adjustable shocks on the front, could i just put them on the 70/30 setting, or should i just get new ones?
could i just run goodyear front runners on the rear just like i have up front, or are there tires that would work better?
i was also thinking about lowering the car, but the exhaust would have to go, do you need to run exhaust?
the car has a 6pt roll bar, 5pt harness, driveshaft loop, and i've got a jacket and helmet, how fast can you go with that?
it's been 11.60's @ 112, and i've never had a problem teching in at a track except for a battery cut off switch.
a lot of questions here i know, and i need a rule book for sure. (i'll sign up and send for one in a little bit)
any advice would be gladly appreciated, thanks.
p.s. i'll give more info if needed, it's just that i don't know what you need.
