Ecoboost Maverick (QuickRik) goes DEEP 12s on the Corsair turbo!!

any frame stiffening or suspension mods? I presume you also removed the spare tire also.

No suspension mods, no frame braces or anything. Yeah, the spare tire is usually not on the truck, haha. I just leave it off most of the time.

Can you feel it twist off the line (Foxbody owner, can you tell?)

No, it's fwd based awd, so the torque of the engine rocks forward and back, not to the side. So being so new, the factory rubber engine mounts do their job.

I'm not saying the wheel weighs 11 lbs, but the wheel/tire combo I'm looking at drops it 12lbs for the wheel, and 4lbs for the tire, for a total sprung weight of 16lbs per corner.

Konig hypergrams in a 17x7.5" size weigh 15.xx lbs each, and the tire I was looking at was a 27.2" diameter that weighed roughly 23lbs each, so about 4lbs off each corner, not to mention the gearing advantage going from 28.5" diameter to 27.2" diameter, roughly 4.5% change in effective gearing change.

Hopefully that makes sense. I think if I go this route, I can achieve roughly 118-120mph, and high 11 quarter mile times.

You will not find those hypergrams in 17" if you want the Mavs 5x108 bolt pattern. I went down that road a few weeks ago contacting every single wheel dealer on the first two pages of google, searching ebay, and finally emailing Konig. It's long discontinued and sold out. You can get them in 18" all day, but not 17".

Any updates? You run 11s yet?

Nope! After hitting the Deer and dealing with getting it fixed, I haven't done anything with it. It goes into the shop tonight, so hopefully I get it back in a week or two!
