Alright with Tbirds Mini and the Sol thread has led me to ask the question (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif) .

How much hp can a 4th gen fbody really handle and still handle (without having to back pedal or get into changing all the susp)?

I know the drag racers go 700+hp and go 9seconds.

But it seems that 700+hp would be a little hassle to control in autoX and road racing with a near stock chassis (even with the GC setup).



I know its an open ended question because of use of throttle and even more open ended when compared to a small tight low speed autoX verses an open road race.

Perhaps we need to swap cars again this next year.  I'd like to see what the UE torque arm would do.  Or perhaps not-I'd fall in love and have to buy it.

Now that I have a fresh 2.97 T56, controlled experiments are no longer possible [edit: but you're welcome to try it]. I'm curious to see how it copes with the stronger gearing.

I think you'll like the way the UETA launches (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Instead of feathering the gas after launch or short-shifting to control the wheelspin, you can just ignore the wheelspin, go quickly to full throttle, and it will just hook up all on it's own (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
