What did you expect from function form coilovers... lol

[EAGLE5]

I expect they're better than Penskes.

[Knshro13]

I think they are, their N/A track build has ohlins though... and holds the record for fastest N/A FR-S at 13.32

Our guy is working on a set from another company, a helical cut set. Timeframe is unknown. I plan on running 9's, we are doing a pretty nasty auto swap in my car for the task. The manual just won't cut it for what I want my car to do

Keep me informed about that gearset when tyey get through testing

Anyone one here know where I can get some extra heads for this car. I have an engine block I will start to put together, but I dont know where to find heads other than a junk yard or a blown engine.

[spitfire481]

also, what are you using or plan on using for fuel?

[dallenj]

I was planing on using some e85 but my tuner advised against that since I was going to using nitrous so I plan on going straight up race fuel

[EAGLE5]

Nothing wrong with mixing nitrous and e85.

a twin disc will hold more power and feel like a stick clutch on the street, you clearly have no idea what it takes to build a car like this. stop while youre ahead and get a hellcat.

the fx725 twin disk feels far from stock on these cars. i put 10k miles on one. on/off with no slip. even with the fluid control valve it was tough

This is what internet marketing hype has done to a generation of would-be tuners.

More power to you, I'll cheer if you succeed, but nothing on that parts list is going to get you anywhere close to either goal.

You have a lot more work, learning, and research to do. Orders of magnitude more than this thread is going to give you.

You might want to pay attention about everything that is said at this point with this being my only car a single disk is what I will go with when I pick up another car tgis will become stickly a race car. The only reason why I started the build on this car my daily driver is my current race car went down in flames. And im not sure if I will keep this transmission so why would I spend an extra grand on something I wont use very much at all.

Thanks for the support, but I have my whole team helping me out on this and they know a lot more then I do. This is my first stage of this build and I know it will involve a lot and not everything is on tgis list just most of the parts. I was thinking that I could get there with the supercharger plus nitrous, but after all the feed back ill probably go turbo.
