What should I do?
 

I got bout 1500 hundred to spend, what do you guys think I should do next? I got to the track at least 3-4 times throughout the year. My best time has been at 13.7. I would like to get that time down. Im just not sure on what would be better for me. Please help!!!!!!

start a s/c fund.:)

That thought has crossed my mind. I had also thought about nitrous. I would like to be able to run mid to high 12s.

You'll deffinatly get there with the spray. Go for it! :shifty:

Would 75 shot get me there.(NX wet or Zex)

pfft with everything you got you should be running mid 13's if you just practice enough, With a 75 shot you will easily be in mid 12's.

cough cough, VT Stage 2 Cams, valve springs and a dyno tune

oh and some nice welds with slicks

Would I have to build the rear end to run slicks?

give it to me... I know what to spend it on...:poke:

umm, it's always a good idea. i'm actually in the middle of it right now

get yourself some 31 spline axles, and a 31 spline carrier differential and you are set to go....

Thanks for all you guys input. I may just build up the rear and run some slicks and call it a day.

good call....

it's better to get it done with instead of ending up paying a tow truck bill back home because you snapped an axle

Who would you recommend me getting them from?

Great idea to do the rear end now instead of later. FRPP has some GREAT 31 spline axles, and if you wanna do it budget-conciously, get a 31 spline carrier from an f150, and have it double packed (taking a rebuild kit and adding more clutches to the diff.) and youll be set. Also, while you are in there, maybe up your gears from 3.73 to 4.10's. Nitrous would DEFINATELY get you there, and maybe in the 11's with the slicks.

you should really save it... thats the smart thing to do...

but then again... theres the fun way:devil2:

Axles will usually run you about $250 to $280. You can get them from ModularPowerHouse.com, Modular Depot, or SummitRacing.com. The differential is a key part too. Alot of people go with the Eaton or Auburn but those are between $400 to $500 dollars. But if you don't plan on pushing anymore than about 450 then just get the Ford Trak-Lok. It runs about $200 in most places but don't get it on the Ford Racing site, way more expensive on there. The big dogs like Eaton and Auburn are usually for the high high HP/TQ numbers.

or go to ebay get a used 8.8 and a rebuild kit for maybe 140 all together. i got the one that i put in my f150 for 100bucks used. rebuild kits off ebay are 40bucks.

or that, lol

Cool, thanks for all you guys input.
