    Default 91 notch tips welcomed!

    i'm looking for some tips for a 91 notch i'm playing with. current set-up is frpp upper/lower rear arms, frpp drag,air-bag spring kit. frpp front lower arms. lakewood 50/50 rears, 70/30 front, upr torque box kit upper/lower. any set-up suggestions would be appreciated. my last ride was a 65 max wedge dodge years ago (read-detroit dragway), so i'm a little new to the fords. not lookin to run 10's but have some fun this summer and maybe a 347 for next year. tire/wheel combo's too. 15x8 welds with 5.5 bs seem to be the ticket but what tire/size fits these cars best? who better to ask than the motown crowd who invented racing! thanks.jim.

    my tip would be to break up your sentences so your posts are easier to read.

    What are you going to use the car for? Street with a little strip? Stick or auto? Are you going to run drag radials, street tires or slicks?

    I'D SAY STREET WITH A LITTLE STRIP. IT'S NOT MY DAILY DRIVER SO I CAN RUN A LITTLE ON THE RACIER SIDE. IT'S ALSO A 5-SPEED. THE PLAN IS KEEP THE MOTOR STOCK FOR NOW, TIGHTEN UP THE SUSPENSION AND CHASSIS FIRST. A STREET TIRE WITH DECENT TRACTION WOULD BE MY BEST OPTION I THINK. DID I MENTION MY 18-YEAR OLD SON WILL BE SHOEING IT ALSO.LOL. THANKS.

    I would weld up all the seems in the lower torque boxes, I blew mine out BAD. For a street/strip car, it sounds quite similar to mine.
    UPR uppers/lowers and Lakewood 50/50's outback, with 4 cylinder springs. "for now" I have 70/30's up front, with 15x8's with a 4.5 backspacing, and skinnies up front. That set up has worked great in my 92 notch. Don't forget subframe connectors, they are a must. Once I made mine, it felt like a different car. I'd also toss in some 3.73 gears.

    thanks for the replies. did you have the torque box kit on yours? i installed mine last weekend, and just the pressure when drilling was flexing inside the car. not a lot, but noticeable. i've also got a 4:10 gear set with frpp carbon clutches ready to be installed. basically i'm trying to avoid wasting money with set-ups that don't fit or work correctly. i'm going to pick up a set of welds for it and i just need to be sure on the backspacing. do the 4.5 bs give decent clearance? what do you guys think of a 275-50-15 bfg drag radial. will the fit be good? this car is too clean to hammer the wheelhouse or roll the lips. thanks. jim.
