Default Midwest tq arm front adjustable mount location??

I know it is recommended for the 2nd from bottom hole. However, my pinion angle is at -1.3 and I need to take some out due to a vibration over 100. So I thought instead of adjusting it out I could put the tq arm in the 3rd hole from bottom, which would take pinion out as well as help bite. Any opinions. Either way I would measure I would not just move the tq arm up a spot.

how does the car launch?
moving the front will change instant center and will require different tire pressure and shock settings

Have yet to get to the track with the new setup. Waiting on my Bogarts to show up. Would moving up 1 hole help or hurt the cg?

Up moves IC forward. I have run mine in the top, and 2nd from top. I had a lot of weight on the nose of the car with heavy turbo kit iron block etc. . Still had no problem lifting the tires.

So the higher the hole the greater chance of wheelstand issues?

this is what madman sent me along time ago


Moving the front of the arm up will hit the tire harder BUT it doesnt lift as much weight. Lowering the arm will transfer more weight but doesnt hit as hard. If you move the arm up then you will need to run more air in the tires and run a different shock setting
