Next Car - Setup Advice Sought
I'm looking for advice on what model of car to choose and am looking for advice on maintaining traction. I'm planning a 725HP/770TQ street legal, daily driver car.
I need to pick a car that's below 3,700 lbs stock. My goal is to have great traction off the line. I like to find a car that would allow me to run 10" wide rims without tubing the rear of the car. That's not a must but I am trying to remain street legal. I may need to run a 2.75-3.08 ring & pinion.
I’ll be runing a 598 CID NA Dart Big M low deck block. The camshaft will be a small steetable one and compression will be a low 9.5:1. The company I'm looking at guarantees theirs to be 725 HP @ 5500 RPM and 770 TQ @ 4600 RPM. A very low RPM streetable engine.
The transmission will be a TH200-4R rated @ 1,000 HP.
So which car should I use?Last edited by cybernco; 01-26-2010 at 10:52 AM.
