Thread: Is this a good set up for my daughters drag car

Ok.my 16yr old girl is building a 81 mustang notch back.its all drag.10pt cage 8.8 rear end with 4.56 gears. C4 with a transbrake. Now the motor is a 347 eagle forged crank eagle I Been rods srp forged 10.1 piston. The cam she wants is a comp cams part # 248HR-14XFI the heads she picked are Edelbrock victor jrs and the intake is a Victor Jr. With a holly 750 carb its been way to long for me I have know idea if this is a good setup or not.she will be spraying 150-250 to it.let me know what you think.

Wow god bless that little girl. That is awesome man. But do me a fav get rid of that 8.8. Ain't gonna hold up to good. She needs a 9 inch fer sure. Daddy's little girl don't need to b breaking axles at 60 foot ya know? Get on that lol. Wish all u gear heads lived closer. Love to help. I'm a double dipper too. I got one loud and proud bad ass gt500. Goin for the fast 2nd gen in the world. And I'm almost there.

And yes, like Joe said, lose the 8.8 rear, I'm not an expert on anything racing but that's the same size rear I have with 3.55 gears on my truck. You'll need a bigger rear end for sure.

Thanks guys.we will look into the 9" my big concern is the motor build. The heads cam and intake are a lot of money! And im afraid that it wont give her what she wants .the 347 stroker is built solid so I want to make sure the rest of the motor complement it the right way.

Wish I could be of more help but figuring out all that is kinda like voodoo to me.
