I think switching to the detroit locker instead of just spinning one wheel will obviously make a big difference. I have my Caltracs on the bottom hole so maybe I need to put it at the top as dennis112 mentioned. I am going to switch to the 6 cyclinder springs in the front before I do anything to do the rear leafs. But it does worry me that the rear suspension is that tight...should it be that tight, ideally?
Also, I forgot to metion this car is a C4 auto with no trans brake (will leave by footbraking to 3500 rpm). |
Usually the strip is much much stickier than the street. You'd be surprised how much traction you gain there. (depending on prep of your local track of course)
As for the rear suspension, mine is pretty stiff even with the monoleafs since I run the shocks on 7 in the rear. Way Way stiffer than the stock 4 leafs that were in it prior. (they were real old and worn out) Also, when they set up my caltracs locally they put 50 thousands gap between on the rear bar adjustment, that makes them hit the tires harder, not sure though with drag radials if thats a great idea since they aren't the same thing. Your just going to have to play with it.
