Really? Also still interested in hearing how exactly I am ignoring advice.
Yeah really, because my post you quoted was referring to your statements, not my assumptions.
As far as ignoring advice, all I can go on is your responses here, which include things like
My 60's are going to suck, but it will be 250% making up for it on the last 1/8 mile.
Its hard to make up that much time in half a track.
Are you serious? Please stop talking. I'm done with this thread. I shouldn't have responded after my first post. This is why I don't go on car forums much.
And
According to these people FWD can't go faster than 13's.
Which no one ever said.
Contours can't break 13s man. Ev44rrrrr.
This kind of stuff makes you look dumb.
And you've mentioned lots of power from a big turbo, an anti-lag setup of unknown type, over $10k into it, "slicks", new chrome-moly axles (which the existing aftermarket parts have proven to be inadequate) and some different gearing.
People here have said that slicks will just break more parts unless you figure out a way to enlarge the splined axle stubs coming out of the trans, or come up with something even stronger than the chrome-moly. Gearing may help a little by the big end of the track, but its not going to help you put more power to the ground, which is what you really need to do. Look at crewchiefpro, his car spins through 4th gear at the track, and I think its safe to assume he has
some idea of what he's doing on a drag strip, what with his resume and all.
Again, I'll say I really don't know exactly what you're building, but based on your statements, I can only conclude that your ignoring much of the advice and concentrating on things that won't help nearly as much, like an oversized turbo, and the anti-lag system you seem so proud of, and the amount of money you've spent too. No mention whatsoever of chassis modifications, all of which would need to be custom, that would be necessary to get the car to hook up and make use of much more than stock power levels. It really is the chassis mods that will make the car run a much quicker 1/4 mile. Many folks have proven that lots of power, even when parts don't break, and using stickier tires, that the contour just doesn't put that power to the ground.
12's and faster are definately possible, but only if you improve things in ALL the right areas, not just one or two.
