Drag Racing RX7

Are any of you doing serious drag racing with an FC? I mean racing only, no street. I'm interested in what type of rear shocks and springs to use on my 87 T2. I know there are several companies that offer adjustables, but I would like to talk to someone who has used them. Maybe even adjustable coil overs. Also does anyone know if there is a spool available for the rear end, I keep ripping the P-Track plates out. I would like to have a solid locked rear end since this is a race car only (trailered to track ).

Well, we drag race down here, and we have a 467 hp rotary, but I personally run in the DOT street category.

If you're serious about building a drag-only RX-7, a 1st Gen is a much better place to start. It's much lighter and doesn't have IRS, so it'll always be faster with the same engine.

If you want 350-400 hp, why not make it a street/strip car instead of strip only?
