Is it biting and unloading as soon as you start to roll, or blowing it off immediately at the hit?

set them to the middle adjustment, and work from there...its going to take some passes to get it dialed in..

thay go up in smoke off idle . been tring to fix this tracksion prob for a wile now. When i had less power and ran on the street it hooked up for about 5 feet then spin them till the end of 2rd gear, so i raised the rear of the lower controll arms up people say now the tires dont wrinkle as much but i konw its better becuz befor it would spin them all the way into overdrive with the extra power now it will only go to 3rd . man summer time if here and i want to drag the bumper

Go full loose on extension, full tight on compression, and then come in a few clicks each way as a starting point. If you're blowing them off at the hit, then you need the extension to let the rear separate and the weight of the car keep them planted. If you do that, and it dead hooks before spinning, then you can start tightening up the extension some IMO.

My best guess.

It will hook now from a 10 mph roll but still kills them from a dig. should i put more anti squat now to hit them harder ? what kinda of a/s % should i be looking for ? when i went 4 clicks from full comp it felt like there was no suspension buonced so bad . by the way this is a el camino with a 383 and a small 192 blower .if u need more info on whats in it let me know .
