Make 1 change at a time, make a log of all pertinent info, including weather, etc.
For a baseline, I'd suggest you set the shocks at mid point, and work from there.
Some better vids from the side, will allow a look at how the tires are working...

Just assuming it was late in the evening on the 21st, 10-11 PM, based on the altitude of the track at 672 feet, humidity levels in the 60s, temperature about 63, barometric pressure at 29.85 (ish) this leads to about a 1333 density altitude. Not bad.

that's the seting on the shocks that madman told me to strat with and seemed to work good and that's is on the 21st about 11:30 it was humdity seemed high but the car did run good its a 3800lb car also

I completely agree with this. Madman is awesome and can definitly ball park you better then most people here, over the internet. BUT you wont know what the car is doing until you try something different and basically its one adjustment at a time.

Also like said, a rear/side view of the tire is optimal. IF you can get some white tape and mark the tire and you will definitly know if it is spinning or actually sticking as the Tape would spin faster and then slow back down and thatn would indicate where your spinning be it from the line to the 60' foot, or if you hook and then unload.

What converter are you running and what gear? Don't touch the suspension just yet. Do like the others said see if you are spinning and get a side video. If you are not spinning then you need to up the boost or check your converter to get that hit you need to pop the car off the line and bring your 60ft down. Try just the boost change after you make sure you are not spinning.

Interesting launch...it really loads up and almost looks like it creeps a little when you stall it up...but then just doesn't take off.

camaroturbo

will its only making 5.5 up intel 60ft than the 2nd stage comes on and it hits high boost and am not sure wut you mean by (creeps) and its the only tire setup i got lol

camaroturbo

here one more video i got from that night this is at 3500rpm 4.5 psi

The car "creeps" meaning that it moves forward slightly...literally "creeping forward." It shouldn't do that on the transbrake.

camaroturbo

am perrty sure its not creeping wut I do is foot brake 2step and than trans brake 3step and when I let the foot brake go the car rocks a lil but that's it and I keep looking over the video and I don't see the tires move at all

The body of the car kinda hunker'd down which made it look like it moved forward.

The car definitely rocks forward in the first video. It doesn't clip the beams, but it rocks forward. It may be a null point in this thread, but every inch you move forward in prestage will hurt your 60' time.

camaroturbo

o ok yea when I see a lot of cars that foot brake 2step to build boost than trans brake the cars rock like that but only if you let the foot brake go I see it on the heads ups DR cars all the time so I figerd it was no big deal

first off your preloading that rear suspension way too much so the split second after you let off the trans brake before the power reaches the back the suspension is unloading slightly then loading again and secondly i cant really tell from the video but im not seeing any tire spin and you want a little tire spin. hope this helps. -tony-

camaroturbo

so by me footbrakeing it am preloading the susp to much any was around this and still build boost
thx for all the help
