1/4 mile run 6 speed
Finally went to the 1/4 mile today. Put down a 13.7 at 102.![Too Cool](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/toocool.gif)
I will go again once I upgrade my suspension cause I was not really able to launch car, too much wheel hop and spinning. By the way it was 82 degrees out also.

Very nice. If you get that 60' down to 2.0, you will see 13.3-13.4.

NT555R is a true drag radial, not a summer tire! Should get you to a 2.0x sixty foot with no other changes. Maybe even 1.90's. You gotta admit, the possibility of beating 335i's and IS350's from a light is an entertaining idea!

Yea, we get it, drag radials. But at this point suspension will yield him the same results as them. Shocks got me 3/10s due to being able to launch with little to no wheel hop. I still need a upper motor mount to get rid of the last of it.

That should do it (spend the time to set rebound and dampening) It will help tremendously. (as long as you have traction) I have little to no wheel hop since adding them (with H&R sport springs)

Update
Went to the track last night with new suspension. It was 65 degrees out and I ran a 13.8 3 times with high 2.3 0-60ft marks. Put in 6 runs in all 3 had bad wheel hop and spinning or missed a gear. All in all the suspension did not help maybe I need to stiffen it more but I dont know Ill try next time. My 60ft times were not very good, best was a 2.2 but i missed second gear on that run
. trapping around 103mph so pretty good for crappy launches.

Did you take the time to adjust the rebound BEFORE you installed them? That setting on the Koni has to be done OFF the car and with the spring off. Dampening can be adjusted with the knob. Im surprised you have axle hop with the 85a mounts and new shocks. Get the stiffy mount or one similar.

I think i finally (after a day of testing) have mine at 2 full turns.
Side mount doesnt really help the motor from rocking. It really needs a upper mount(s) like GM has used (im looking into making one when i finally get the new motor put together and dropped in)

Also if you are having that much. During the motor swap did you take off the radius rods? If so did you install the bushings correctly? Yours may be worn. Id like to get a set of urethane bushings or harder rubber for mine.

That or i wouldnt mind making something like this to replace the stock radius rods.

Slightly, about 76-7800. Nothing like your 9k.

[quote=fsttyms1;12840868]I would check them out for any play, it would cause it. Yea, i know it would help greatly. Plus probably keep the stock mounts from blowing up. I have been thru 3 front mounts since the swap and need to replace it again.

Any plans on going aftermarket now on the mounts?

no, im going to continue to run stock mounts. Im going to window weld the front but that is it. I fully plan on making a upper mount to stop the engine movement.
