  • Drag Guru's inside please.

    Went to the track Saturday and my wife got some good photo's of the car in action. Here's a sequence of pics for one of my runs, my question is at what time should the front end settle down so I'm not having so much air under the car slowing me down. I'm running QA-1 R series up front w/QA-1 springs rated at 315lbs. Setting was on #1 so front end would come up quick.. What's your thoughs based on these pics? Or is this normal?

        Man Larry, you do keep that front up in the air.

        Was that your Nitrous run??

            Just a question but your rear shocks aren't to soft are they??

            Would that make you carry the car like that???

                  They were set fairly firm, firmer on the Pass side than the drivers side..

                    I'd say the shocks are working the way they are suppose to, and doing their job. The amount of traction your gaining by weight transfer is far more important than the drag that is created for maybe the last 4 seconds of the run once you get up over 80mph. I will say it does seem a little high though....

                      Removing your front sway bar will also help with weight transfer
