I've been trying to dual-purpose my car between drag and autox, and its time to pick a side. After winning last week's bracket event, I've got a serious bug to take it to the next level of drag racing.
My current setup:
I am launching very soft, maybe 1k max. Shifts 1 to 2 the DRs have no problem, I still am getting some very slight hop and spin from 2-3. I'm also feeling alot of instability at high speeds(not related to the radials). I am consistently seeing 12.2 at 115mph 1.95 60' at 4600 density altitude, and will be up to 5700-6200 the coming months. Again, consistency is priority over ET, but would love to start seeing 11s.
Changes I'm considering are:
My questions are:
My current setup:
- '21 GT 10R80 3.15 non-pp, non-premium
- Camber Front -1.9, -1.6 Rear
- Toe Front .10 Out total, Rear .20 total in
- FP Track handling package
- FP M-1600-FP Spoiler
- Steeda Camber Plates
- Steeda IRS bushings
- Steeda IRS alignment sleeves
- Steeda IRS Braces
- Front: SVE M1HP 19x10 wheels (rival S 1.5 275/35)
- Rear: SVE 17x10 MT ET Street R 305/45-17
- Wengerd E70 Tune

Changes I'm considering are:
- Reinstall factory base front and rear swaybars(softer bars=better weight transfer?)
- GT350 Halfshafts
- Steeda Drag Springs
- Steeda Double Adj Rear Shocks
- Steeda Single Adjustable Front Struts
- Steeda Camber Bolts ( ditch the camber plates. Plates never used now even with -1.9, so a neutral alignment definitely shouldn't need plates, right?)
- Steeda Diff Bushings
- Steeda Vertical Links
- Remove spoiler (~130lbs downforce?)
- Go back close to a factory alignment: -1.0 front(0 toe), -1.20 rear (+.10 total toe)
My questions are:
- How bad is the FP Track handling package hurting my ET and will I see that much more improvement going to a drag oriented setup?
- Will a Steeda drag setup be that much better than just throwing in my factory dampeners/springs back in?
- I see alot of info that drag setups use very little or no front swaybar 'to help with weight transfer'. I don't understand this, don't they effect side-to-side, not front to back? Do they prevent front strut from expanding?
- I don't want to buy adjustable dampeners if my setting would be worse off than preset dampeners. What general setting should the compression and rebound be set at?
- My next step down the road is LTH and CAI which I am procrastinating because I like a quiet exhaust. Is there any other modifications I'm missing other than weight reduction?
