I weighed mine in at 1050KG and have a grand total of just 158 rear wheel horsepower at a lazy 4800rpm.
Yea I tried the 3.08 gears and I thought it was quickish and then tried the 3:55 and immediately picked up the pace and less tyre spin but I have had to learn how to get this little baby off the mark with skinny rubber. I have a VL diff I was thinking of doing but now I have a spare LC/LJ I figure I'll just narrow it and slide some 235's under her instead for now.
I think I will put the Koni shocks on and soften them to the max for Sindays drags (Southern Nationals), Its gonna be a great day with some fkin brilliant cars coming in for a real boys noise day, I will be watching the action and drooling!
The coytina sounds like it had some big problems alright, an old Streetstock I had used to do that every now and then for absolutely no reason as it would suffer from oil surge and lay a thick haze of blue smoke in my 253 HT.
That Fairlane put a smile on my dial as it gave me good memories, always liked em and always will, is it running the standard 302 donk?
