I have a 90 ls. its going to be a stock ls turbo. im using a act 6 puck unsprung and stock tranny. im going to be using Hoisier slicks. the size are 23x8.5x15. my question is will the stock axels hold in the lunch? i plan on lunching at 3500rpm and see what happens if i need more boost on the lunch then i might lunch at 4000rpm. the suspension is nearly stock. it only has eibach pro kit springs, cheap ebay strut bar, and energy motor mount inserts.

 

I have a 92 Gsr and have done 1.5 60 foots and 11 second quarter miles on stock axles. I launch at 6500 rpms and have over 70 passes on this set. I run 23'' M&H's.

 

you will be fine just preload and DONT just dump the clutch. driving style has alot to do with life of drivetrain compoents. PLus u will probably find out u will have to leave at a higher rpm.

 

well i should make full boost at around 3700 rpm so i dunno. the first pass or first couple of passes i plan on lunching slow till i get use to it. even if i do a 2.8-3.5 60ft which would be horrible but i dont whant to break something the first time out or the first run. yall have to keep in mind that i have never driven a turbo car before or a car faster then 14seconds. i know how to drive but its diffrent on faster cars. anyways thanx for the input.
btw allmotor da asked how much power im planning on making and im tring to get really close if not 300whp. and hopefully around 225wtq.

 

another question now is will 22x7x13 goodyear slicks be not big enough for the power im hoping for? to what hp are they rated to?

On your first pass with slicks try to launch it very hard so you can lose traction. Losing traction is much easier on the drivetrain than bogging out of the hole and putting full torque on the driveline. Once you figure out what RPM you lose traction you can then bring the RPM's down little by little until you get a good launch. Also remember to preload drivetrain so there is no slack whatsoever.

I would go w/ M&H 22x8x13. Not sure what "whp they are rated to" but, I trust in them and make 11 sec. (@ 120+mph) passes on them no problem. As long as you preload (do a search on it) the drivetrain will hold up fine. I'm on OE axles and diff. Oh yeah it's LAUNCH not lunch . Good luck. You'll love the LS-t

thanx for the inputs and my bad on "lunch" i was sleepy. it was 1:30 am in houston.

 

would using road slicks not drag slicks be any good? theyre 23x8.5x15. would i get good traction with them?

 

No, road racing slicks won't give you anything near the traction as drag racing slicks in this situation. You're going to have to launch in the 7000-8000rpm range with 22-23" slicks.

 

I have a 94 gsr and I launch at 8000 on m&h 22.5/8.5/13 and I do fine. so you should be good and I dump the hell out of my car!!

 

405whp on 10psi... hmmm doesnt sound right

 

he must have a big a$$ turbo.

nah, sounds like high(er) compression, like 10:1-11:1 to make that power on that psi.

 

can road race slicks be brought down to 8psi? if not whats the lowest?
