@@Dang_Jim Not needed, the irs has been 6s which is way faster than this car will ever go most likely. It does need some shocks, subframe bracing, bushings, etc.
What a lot of people often overlook in drag racing is suspension. Suspension is VERY important when it comes to your launch. It needs more compression damping so it's not bottoming out and some rebound so it's not bouncing out like it is. Give 'ol Jackstand a call, he'll tell you what you need to know.
@@AJUSA1 i think it needs the chassis control fixed so the magenetic dampers work again. He explained they're broken right now and basically do their own thing.
@@TranceFur The IRS likes to dance so you need damping control to get into the nines leaving on a 2 step. He should probably swap those malfunctioning shocks out entirely anyway even if they aren't completely broken and then he still should get the stop the hop kit... ALL the fast Gen 2s have that done. Possibly needs axles and driveshaft as well but he's on an odd motor and trans setup so it's hard to say on that. He should also be on a bias ply tire like a hoosier quicktime pro... specifically Hoosier 17604QTP Quick Time Pro DOT Tire Size: 28X11.50-17LT QTPRO works well for manual boosted coyotes to get into the 9s... stick cars struggle on radials. But yeah, if his shocks were somehow malfunctioning he could improve a bit just fixing them... but he still will gain more with the stop the hop kit and bias ply tires like the quick time pros.
dude this is exactly what i said. i have never seen a car move the way his did on a drag strip. it looked like a 96 ford explorer with all 4 shocks blown out going over some railroad tracks.
I think you nailed it with the suspension being the problem. Look at the difference in stance between your car and the GT500 at 18:47 and the rest of that run. Your car bounces every shift, and while part of that is likely the fact that yours is not a DCT, it has GOT to be causing some of your traction problems at launch and on the street. BC coils? Fixing Mag? who knows, but I suspect that might get you more time than pushing power into it at this point.
The barra is a bloody good motor, even more so when they've been worked. I've tried explaining to people how the power feels much different to other tuned cars, almost like you're going into a warp speed. Once I took then for a ride in it only then they understood what I mean. Very good torque
@erikkhyndman9184 naw I mean Cleetus... Correct the whole FF team is what makes the dream work, but Cleetus is the one signing everything and that owns the track to be able to have him back down. Hands down get Zach on it and James and get Cleetus for the actual driver tips and its a dream.
Definitely would like to see you work with James/Cleetus on getting the suspension + short track figured out. Having the drag racing content sprinkled in is super fun and cool to see you getting deeper into another Motorsport.
@Latezen the rear is a bouncy castle because the front is coming up so fast making the rear off load. Both ends need work but the front is coming up way to fast.
@@jay1968. Sure i agree that the front end is coming up too fast but it doesnt fix the main problem that is the mag drive or whatever this had that is in some weird setup state. How the rear end is currently making front end come up slower wont improve the overall suspension setup for dragstrip that much.
After watching all of the launches, your stock suspension needs one thing, which is lower gears in the rear end to match the transmission first gear ratio. You have plenty of top end speed, and believe it or not, the 60 footers, and ET will dramatically drop while your mph increases. Talk to a couple of the major rear end shops for calculating the best gear ratio. Maybe a 4:30
Vids like this are a refreshing change from drifting I absolutely love drifting and seeing your progress over the years as a drifter is very inspiring but I’m a drag racer at heart and absolutely enjoy you having a go and getting better and better every time you go.. ps the mustang hits home as an Aussie I’m so glad to see you with a Barra in one of the best chassis ever the mustang
I have watched your videos off and on for years, but it’s been a long time. After 5 minutes; I subbed. You are killing it IMO. All the best to you and thanks!
25000 likes in 17 hours. Almost there peeps. Best ep in a while. We need more drag racing. This is probably my favorite build. Glad it's off the back burner and into the spotlight. Keep it up
Test drove a fg xr6t on Saturday that sounded pretty good, single 4" turbo back system 👌 560 whp 👌 It's when people put external gates on them and dump em to atmosphere is what makes them sound like crap.
my last 3 videos prior were just the new pfi speed srt4 vid, then watched the boostedboi wind tunnel, then cleetus leroy whipple, and then this. like what a great hour of videos of daily racing content. thanks adam. and look forward to seeing you collect a pile of drag strip slips fior all the cars. lol gonna have the most 10 second cars on the east coast.
Always lower tire air pressure in steps until it smooths out the magna-ride suspension. That is the biggest problem for your suspension. You will be happy with your 60 foot times. Yes, sometimes a slight clutch slip helps with better ET's made. With over a 1,000 hp, the clutch has to be considered a wearable replacement item, so that the rest of the drive train does not become a wearable replacement item. Keep at it, and eventually you will reach the wanted ET goal. Good luck with everything.
cant wait for your event in toronto been watching you since your very first bmw and when u snapped your bars on your green bmx can’t wait to see you adam ❤
The BarraStang is a straight monster but I think the next step needs to be a 4 Link rear end. That will help with traction and be able to almost have unlimited adjustability on your suspension.
Scotty aka the tuning fork saves the day again I like to think I'm the one that put Adam on to him at the start but surely I wasn't the only one lots of 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 here

Adam LZ Awesome Video I think it's awesome that you had a great time Drag Racing your Awesome Barra Swapped Shelby GT350 and I think you did a great job running a 10.9
Adam, call Kelltrac (Kelly Aiken). He used to work for BMR, But he is THE KING of S550 suspension. Almost all the guys doing no prep and big dog races use his setups. He's local too Bradenton/Tampa too, and he will get you dialed.
A.Damn @14:17 of this here video what is that there burn mark seen on the driver or port side of the front fender close to the top? I know you see it. I thought the turbo was on the other side of the engine bay!
As an Australian i am glad to see that this car is finally doing what it should of been doing, & its good to see you finally into yet another aspect of racing *drag* But Adam a GTR or Evo with a sequential & rolling anti lag is way more fun, plus we hurt the big barra turbos at roll racing here ;)
Ill tell you an s550 secret. I own a 2016 gt350r btw. Mine still has the voodoo, but my grandpa and i went completely through it and solved all the oiling issues, i did copper head gaskets, titanium valves, valve springs, retainers, rods and full exhaust in ti. It has diamond billet pistons, custom ground cams just on the intake side. I gave it more lift and duration while obviously retaining that DIALED fuggin LSA they provided from the factory. THANKS MR.SHELBY!!! My dogs name is Shelby. She was born on May 9th 2012. Those of you who dont know, thats when the man, the myth, the legend, Carol Shelby sadly passed on. I have another younger female pit bull who i named Carol. I shit you not. So when i call my dogs its pretty awesome to any mustang guys in ear shot. Anyway, if you dont know, the rear suspension on s550 actually gain negative camber the closer they get to the bump stops. So instead of adjusting your camber when the car is at ride height, i put a ratchet strap through the rear subframe and ratchet that bitch down to max weight transfer when i do drag race it and set the camber accordingly. Obviously you have to find a happy medium because if u zero it out at full bump, youll have too much positive camber when she flatens out. I mostly just rip Mt.Rose highway and scare the absolute shit out of my lady, i road race it too. Ibdo not drift my gt350 simply because they were not built for that in any way, shape, or form. If you want to drift an s550, buy a regular gt, hit up drift domestic and get their entire front knee assemblies, im sponsored by fortune auto so, they provide me their triple adjustable units which are actually better than any KWs ive ever owned.
Love this car!!! Glad to see you on the strip! I’m not the biggest fan of drag racing but I do enjoy it tho! I think you get the suspension dialed in and the clutch right, with the anti lag and the flat shifting you’ll be Fast Asf!!! Already fast and a lot of HP but the hard part is putting it down on the track!!! ✌️🫶 Great Job Though!!!
That suspension seems like it's causing most of the problems
do you know if he’s on a bias ply rear tire? i think that is playing into this issue too
Yeah deff the back is bouncing all over the place when he launches it, no point in trying to launch it
That along with the rear subframe bushings, don’t remember if he upgraded them but they have way to much play and tolerance front factory
I think this car could benefit from a solid rear axle swap if he's going to be using it for straight line stuff

that rolling anti-lag is INSANE!
18:45 that boy said he dosent use the anti lag and straight used it on you adam lmao good ol drag racing i love it!
With a better tire and a dialed suspension is going to make the Barra a force to be reckoned with.
I'm loving all the drag content! You need to get together with James at Cleet's shop, so he can help tame your suspension set up for more traction.
This💯
Adam is putting a lot of trust into those axles and driveshaft. Spinning on slicks with a prepped track is crazy.
That thing has a better exhaust note than any barra I've heard, and im in Australia where I see them daily 😅
true, but your daily barra isn't pushing 1000hp
