For the rear you have to crawl yer *** on the ground to reach the *****. For the front you just turn the wheels all the way to the left or right to gain access to the *****, then when you reach the ***** you turn them....

If you are asking what setting, then there is no right answer really. Depending on your power level you may get away with 0-2 on the front and I'd start at 4-5 on the rear.

These are just starting points, but you don't want the nose bouncing as you go down the track. I hope this helps some.

Good luck!

If you have "R" series on the front, and no wheel stand issues you can set the fronts on zero. Mine likes 5 on the rears.

It's all good man! I got a good sense of humor
I should of post my question bit more specific... not how You adjust it, but what You adjust it to

1.6s That's great. I was trying to get some ideas, I really need to pull 1.6s as well. Got 27x10.5 drag tires, lower controls arms, panhard rod, QA1s, sway bar, 4400 stall with T-rex v2.
If I can drop my 60 foot to 1.6 I will be in mid 11s.
Thanks man and wish You luck with Your 1.5s!

Take care fellas

Well, I don't really drive the car on the street.
I didn't even have a chance to play with it. Not untill spring time.

on ths street I find all 4 at 5 seems pretty close to stock, doesn't ride too bad.

at the track I've had the rears from 3 to 6, and the fronts from 3 to 7, and still haven't found a sweet spot, but I think the 27x111 qtp's just aren't enough tire for what I'm making for power and my converter.

Gonna screw a set of 28x10s et drag's on it this spring and see what that gets me

You NEED a Random Technology adjustable torque arm set at 3 degrees pinion angle if you are serious about hooking up!

I DD mine on 6 on the front left and 4 on the front right (R series)
On any sort of hard acceleration the left would come up easier...I find this combo to make for very straight and even launches.
