Took my Truck to the track on sunday. My fastest time was a 14.5 thats with spinning out and having troubles getting it to go into 3rd. What did you run red

 

hey guys that stuff you were talkin bout with the drill mod for the 5 spd. got a couple questions...is that for like from dead stop i rev through 1st and go to shift into 2nd and grind? cause i get that every once in awhile 2nd to 3rd isn't that bad for me cause i've gotten used to the shift length & whatnot


EDIT: i wanted to ask...anyone else pull up aside any mustangs? am i the only one that has no problem beating fox body 5-0's & new model GT's? i swear to god once i hit third i pull 2 lengths...i raced a foxbody for the first time today and he couldn't catch up...i dont get it...they've got roughly the same power with a lot less weight input is welcome

 

there are two spots in the end of the hyduralic hose that goes to the slave cylinder and they restrict the flow of fluid to te slave. by drilling them out you allow for a fast transfer of fluid. in other words a faster shift. atleast that is my understanding, and it seemed to work for me.

my bro has a ws6 and when i was just te 4.8 i could touch him, dont know bout the stangs though. we are waitin for warm weather to see if i can smoke him now. i know before i had a good tune on the motor he had a real hard time pullin away from me. but once we got into the high rpms that is where he would pull on me.

 

you askin me?
i havent bee to the track since the first year i had the truck. and back then i had the crappy gt2s on the truck with a open rear end and breakin it loose in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. with a final best time of 16.3, plus it was my first year with the truck so i wasnt the best at drivin the long throw. cant wait to go this year with the new set up.

 

Couple quick Regency questions. Is the front bumper on a RST sierra the same as a regular sierra? What is the ACTUAL drop on these trucks, and how is it achieved?

 

the bumper itself, i believe it is. i believe they just formed the fiberglass airdam to fit it. atleast that is what they did on mine.

1.5" front by way of spring and spindle
2" or 3" in the rear with shackle and hanger

you can call ground force and they will tell you. 724-430-2068 and just tell them you are lookin for info on your regency and they have all the info you need.

 

Thanks red! The airdam is different on a Chevy though aint it?

As far as the lowering, I just want to know what I need for a 4/6 drop? A 4/6 kit wont work now will it?

 

if your airdam is like the one on booger's truck then that looks like the factory airdam. and your right the chevy airdam is different


for a 4/6 drop you will have to change the spindel up front and the spring if i remember correctly and in the back you have to c-notch and do a flip kit. other than that im not sure.

 

hey RED04REGENCYRST have you upgraded your rearend? I have plans for a **** load of hp and trq and i don't think the stock rear will hold i was thinking of a 14 bolt 9.5 or a strange dana 60.

 

hey i'm at around 41k miles anyone else have to replace shocks this soon? truck kinda jumps when i'm doin 60 nd hit small bumps...and if isn't there a way to get a couple inches drop in the rear by flipping the bracket or somethin? thanks guys
