      1st time out with a new combo is always rough - prep was marginal at best too.

      Shock adjustments should get me there - but it might take some lower control arm relocation. Next time I'll be more motivated to make it hook.
      never would have guessed mid michigan prep was just marginal.. lol


      good luck jeremy. hopefully you can get it dialed in quickly!

          • The weight of duals...
            is it the light flywheel?

              Nope it's steel. But yes the mass could be the difference. I thought they were close and I'm to lazy to look it up.

              Do you agree I need more compression on the shocks or should I move the lowers for more/less anti squat?

              • probably less anti. how much tire pressure. you can control it a little with more pressure but that depends how it hooks. can you add more extension(rebound) or is it maxed?
                ultimately i had to lower my launch rpm due to the mass. like 2000 rpm

                • 10-12 psi. I start at 12 psi normally and drop to 10 if it doesn't hook.

                  Rebound can go up 12 more clicks.

                  Ugh - car will be a dog if I can't leave over 5500rpm.

                      I've got some things to try. Now just have to wait for the track to be open again

                      • Rear suspension doesn't bind.

                        Lower control arms are running 2* uphill to the the rearend at ride height with the 28" tires on.

                        Started tearing it down to fix it and I had a bent wheel stud. So it took some time to remove and replace that.

                        Going to move the control arms down a hole and see what that gets me. If it spins then - I'll move them back to the stock hole, 1 up from where they are now.

                        • I believe the control arms should run downhill toward the rear roughly 2* shouldn't they?

                              • lower at axle than body....

                                At a certain point that doesnt work anymore though. Like 1200hp or so then level or maybe even less
