  • would having bad shocks hurt my 60' or 1/4?

    would having bad shocks hurt my 60' or 1/4? my 60s were lame my best was 2.299 and my worst was like 2.5 something. my mph was constantly 88, but im just curious. my rear shocks are completely shot. i mean, going over speed tables is like a 6000 lb cadillac.

    could this be because I floor it all the time?
    thanks in advance

    Its not really that you floor it, I have heard that no shock of any value will last longer then 50,000 miles...

    And actually bad shocks will helpt a little...

    They help the rear end squat down, and transfer more weight of the car over the rear wheels, and help you launch better.

    YOu just need practice

      Ill prorbably AIM you before I race again. Also, what do you think about drilling my thermostat, how big should the holes be, where do I drill them, how many holes. Could this work for another one of your free mods.

        About drilling the thermostat, I have no clue or idea on what to do with that...

        I am thinking of it though since the 3.8L runs pig hot... but ehh... I don't really race much anymore...
