i think 375# on front and i no 125# on back i no i need more in front maybe less in rear too it weighed a lil under 1800 in front and right at 1450 on rear. but trying to leave wit 225 on brake at 3000 rpm stall locks at 4500 . and even leaving that low it blows tires off at line
Your trying to hit it with all that power right off the hit? Are you taking extra timing retard out on the hit, or do you have a progresso?. That's a lot of power to hit it with off the line 100% for a car that already runs high 5's on motor. I think you're gonna need some power management there. What do you have your rear shocks set at on rebound and compression?
i will have to check settings today to see exactly wat the setting are but since ive changed gearing and now a neil chance converter car does 6.60 conservatively on motor.but gears now are 4.10s was thinking bout trying 3.55s dont no. motor seems to love nitrous but with this new combo cant get car to hook and it went faster with looser converter and way less nitrous.and no no progressor gonna put 7531 box on later.total timing on 35 degrees nitrous comes on engine retard now set for 12 degrees to come out still wont hook. i wanna run some 30s i think motor capable suspension just hasnt come together.
