I have had my 95 out a few times this year, and im trying to work out my 60ft traction stuff. So heres what i have, and then ill ask my questions.
95 GT 3500 w/driver
T-5
Spec 1
3:73 Gears
UPR Front Coil Over 14in 175lbs springs
Strange 10 way struts
Back-
UPR Lowers w/Solid Bushings
Stock uppers :-(
Strange 10 Way shocks
H&R Supersport springs (till probably after next race)
275/50/15 M/T drag radials
OK, So i was having a hell of a time saturday getting the car to hook at the redding drag strip, CA. Tire PSI is at 18 which is what M/T told me to do as well as a few other racers that i asked. Front struts i have set from 1-3 rear shocks I have set from 1-4. Best 60 foot was a 2.121 saturday night. Now, i know that i have pretty much stock power since i only have TFS1 Cam, K&N, and Exhaust. (no use in putting money into a motor im not going to keep) But am i expecting too much to get down to a 1.9 60ft?? It seemed like the tires just wouldnt hook the other night. So i guess what im asking, is where should i base line my settings? I think next time im at the track, im going to put the struts at 3-4 and the shocks at 2. I know my springs in the back are probably screwing me up too. Im am looking at the wolf adjustable spring mount with the 12/150s. And i really want to get some double adjustable uppers with sphirical bushings so i can set my pinion angle and get an anti roll bar. (how much will that help?) BASICALLY, if someone has a better suggestion, throw it out for me. This is a street car that see's the track a couple times a month and pretty much only see's street action on the weekend.
