Instead of trying to piecemeal a fix here, or reengineer the rear of the Mustang by mixing and matching parts (an approach that hadn’t been successful thus far), we decided to trust an expert in the field of Mustang performance suspensions, BMR Suspension. We spoke to Allan Miller, President of BMR Suspension, and was given an encyclopedia of information on suspension deflection, metallurgy, and why it is important to use a system that has been designed ...

The Camaro has always gotten a bit of a bad rep as a car that is only fast in a straight line. The early Camaro’s V8 power plant, rear-wheel-drive layout, and solid rear axle naturally lent themselves to the needs of the drag racer, but wasn’t seen as ideal for corner carving. However, with the newest breed of Camaro, it’s a whole new ball game. Featuring an independent rear suspension and a technologically advanced overall design, the 5th Gen Camaro...

Whether it's on the street or at the track, traction is immensely important. Spinning your tires will get you nowhere fast, and as high-horsepower Ponies become more and more popular, getting your power to the ground becomes more difficult.
In the past few months, we have stepped up the power output of our '11 AMSOIL Mustang GT. We've been cranking out high-10-second e.t.'s with relative ease, but a few issues have begun to decrease consistency and t...

| BMR Suspension’s 2011 Mustang Wins Super Stang at NMRA World Finals! |
|
The 2011 Mustang project car from BMR Suspension took the victory in the Super Stang class at the NMRA World Finals in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Allan Miller successfully raced the BMR mule car through a 23-car field. He used consistent launches and killer reaction times on a cold and slippery Kentucky track to eliminate 5 of the the toughest competitors in the Super Stang class. The BMR 2011 Mustang dead-hooked on 18� drag radials on every pass than...

| Fastest Street Car Magazine: Going Tubular |
|
Over the last six years of modifying FSC’s Camaro project car, The LS-Wonder, we’ve come to realize how fun and effective GM’s fourth generation F-body platform can be for street/strip drag racing. Even a 90,000 mile LS1 can make a 3,500-pound streetable car fly with the right combination of components. It started as a 14-second snail, but these days the car is on the cusp of running tens in the quarter—and we have yet to even open up the engine.

| AMSOIL Mustang GT SEMA Project – Stop, Squat, and Roll! |

For many builders, a SEMA car is all about the bling. Shiny things grab your attentionyou’re drawn to the kind of over-the-top awesomeness that you just can’t seem to take your eyes off. But sometimes what’s hiding beneath the surface can be equally as impressive.
This month we look at another stage of the initial build of our AMSOIL Mustang GT SEMA project--namely suspension, brakes, wheels, and tires.

When we last left The Purp, Matt LaRue and Troy Pirez Jr. of ProFab Performance were putting the finishing touches on our Chris Alston Chassisworks rollcage. This month, we were on hand to witness The Purp's rear end and suspension install, two crucial systems that are much more expensive to do twice, than to do correctly the first time. Years ago, adding a fortified rear to a fourth-gen was a real chore, so we shouldn't take for granted how many excellent...

Unless you can afford a dedicated race car, your daily driver probably doubles as your track toy. Or you may have a weekend cruiser that you take to the track occasionally. Either way, when it comes time for you to go to the track, you don't want to deal with tire changes, major suspension adjustments, or unbolting and removing components.
That is where we've arrived with our '93 LX coupe. We wanted to find a combination of wheels, tires, and suspensio...

| BMR’s Full Line of 2011 Mustang Suspension Parts |
|
When it comes to the 2011 Mustang, most people think that the only difference between the 2010 and 2011 is the engine and transmission – that is totally wrong. Ford did a fair amount of suspension changes to the 2011 Mustang and while some might be subtle, there are still slight variances. BMR picked up a 2011 Mustang and found this out, knowing they had to get to work on the suspension changes, and that they did.
Even the springs and sway bars hav...

It's been awhile since we showcased Robert Varoujanian's '70 Chevelle. When we first introduced his project, it was a skeleton with a few select items that he picked up through the classifieds; the owner before Robert was doing his best to convert this Chevelle into a grudge night racer. Unfortunately for him, a lack of funds and interest left the A-body sitting by the wayside.
On the other hand, the good news for Robert was that aside from the missi...

| 12’s or Bust – Bolt-Ons help your S197 go deep 12’s |

It's almost a given that whenever the '05-newer Mustangs come up in conversation, its enormous size is always a hot topic. That's because the S197 Stangs are larger than any Mustang Ford Motor Company has produced since the '70s. Their size gives them noticeable presence on the road, but also casts doubts to its performance capabilities.
We decided to take a couple of S197 cars and flog them at the dragstrip to find out how they would respond to basi...

Unfortunately, sticking your sparkling new powerplant into your tired ride requires a bit more than an afternoon hose-down. If you want to do things right, it's also a time to be prepared for plenty of instances of "while you are at it." Such is the case when we prepa...

Here at powerTV we often do a really good job of teaching you how to set up a car for drag racing, but what if that is not your cup of tea? Taking turns around town… and enjoying a weekend autocross often finds a way into many an enthusiasts’ agenda. The problem is, most stock suspensions are just not optimized for serious corning. BMR not only makes serious drag suspension, but they are now offering great products for taking lefts and rights. Today we...

As an associate editor of what I feel is the greatest car magazine available today, I am afforded the luxury to go racing on an almost weekly basis. Even though parts are swapped constantly and testing happens all the time, track and weather conditions can change greatly between test sessions, making inconsistent results.
At a recent editorial meeting, I threw out the idea to install a street/strip suspension and test it. Although we've done this befor...

While the gas crunch that rang in the ’80s can be held responsible for the sub-200 hp “muscle cars� that were jammed down our throats by the Big Three in those days, it also brought us a grip of new technology. At the outset, innovations such as computer controls and electronic fuel injection that were deemed necessary to lessen harmful emissions and increase fu...

| Putting The LS-Wonder On a Diet With BMR |

It’s been a few months since our late-model GM project, the LS-Wonder, appeared in the magazine. In the last installment we finally opened up the engine and swapped on the popular F.A.S.T. LSX intake manifold and 92mm "Big Mouth" throttle body.
Once we had our little vacuum leak troubles fixed, we were happy to gain nearly 30 RWHP, which was great, but in itself proposed a problem, even before the new intake the car was already quick beyond the NHRA'...

| 1969 Chevy Camaro Watt's Link and Torque Arm Kit Install - Getting A Better Handle On Things The Watt's Way |

With street performance and handling being the most popular today, stock muscle car suspensions leave a lot to be desired when it comes to corner carving performance. If you have a leaf spring equipped car, spring bond and axle hop are your constant enemies, either on the street, the autocross, and the dragstrip. Even with coilovers and traction/slapper bars, a leaf spring suspension just can't handle a lot of today's modern driving.

However, this is not a direct swap electronically-in order to benefit from the huge airflow...

Many projects begin as cars that have already exceeded the budget of the average backyard mechanic. And even then, regardless of funds, you can surely expect to spend two to three times more than you'd expected--assuming you've been fortunate enough to even finish the buildup. With that in mind, our goal was to begin with a common platform well within the average user's budget, namely a Fourth-Gen '99 SS Camaro....

Upon release of the 2004 GTO many aftermarket companies were scrambling to figure out how to make a 3,800-pound car with IRS satisfy the demands of the General's army of drag racers. BMR Fabrication was by far quickest out of the hole, placing its order for the Australian built Poncho over a year in advance, and in January 2004 they were among the first in the state of Florida to receive one. BMR's intentions were simple: to make quick discovery of any pot...

We all like a good dose of utility. The more uses we can put something to, the better. A street car is nice, and a strip car is cool, but a real street/strip machine, a muscle car that can both cruise the boulevard and throw down at the track, now that's really something to get excited about. That kind of dual-purpose utility is what BMR had in mind when it developed its Level 4 handling package for A-bodies, only with a twist. This setup is aimed at those...

With one call to BMR Fabrication, I acquired some seriously beefy parts to strengthen the suspension: an adjustable torque arm and BMR's new billet lower control arms.
Additionally, it appears that the road-course abuse I've heaped on the stock clutch hydraulics and afterma...

Usually, when people talk about how fast their car is, you'll hear them discuss the specs of their motor, their power-adder of choice, or even their car's weight. But drag racing is about more than raw horsepower.
To be able to run killer elapsed times- and stay off the walls - you have to be able to plant that power to the pavement, and to do that, you need a suspension that is up to the task. In addition to having the right hardware, you need the kno...

As we have preached in these pages several times before-before you start any project car, it's best to identify the intent of the car before you actually begin building or modifying it. Also, be sure to embrace the fact that while you may have preconceptions as to what you need, what you're thinking may not be the right way to go.
For FSC and Sparrow's Buick, we tried our best to follow the credo of "consultation before installation". So far the idea h...

In almost an instant your Mustang goes from a standstill to an accelerating bullet-the rear tires dig in, the front end comes up, and away you go from the dragstrip's starting line. It's a common theme that thousands of Mustang owners experience virtually every weekend at dragstrips across the country. Drag racing is about acceleration, and the way our Mustangs accelerate is by transferring the power from under the hood through the drivetrain and to the ti...
