jantzer, don't think he could , check out his location

TNT , less talk and get your *** to the shop and get that thing finished !! ( and post up the pic of the 1.29 launch!! )

seriously, from looking at the car launch you can tell it needs to keep the nose down a bit more. how much will it hurt / help the car to go with limiters??

I have the limiters set for about 4" of travel right now but the way the car is set up now I dont even need them really. Its just something you really have to experiment with. Dont assume the limiters are a cure all for wheelstanding, I can put it on the bumper with 2" of front end travel.

I can 1.2x footbrake (or transbrake) no problem and the front tires hardly come up at all. Its a lot of juggling between spring rates, corner weights and shock settings to get the car to 60' hard on a crappy track and keep the front down on a good one. Right now I'm using QA1 Gen F 300lb spings in the front and the stock rear springs.
