Exclamation need to hook whats next?? help!!

i have a mid range cam 230/230, full bolt-ons, 4000 edge converter, moser m9 with torque arm and relocate bracket, strange single adj. front shocks, comp 3-way rears, UMI sfc's and 26x11.5 15s.
i am going to be racing higher hp cars than me, but most will be lacking suspension so i will have to out launch them to run with them. i am still installing the suspension parts above. What i need advice on is what should i do next!! i need help.
thanks

thats what i meant LOL its fixed now. i do have LCA relocation brackets but no LCA's.
i can get double adj. chromoly LCA's for $175 from midwest chasis. is it worth doing double adj. or is single adj. enough?

only advantage to double adjustable is you can adjust them on the car. it's kind of nice should you have to adjust everything, then you don't have to unbolt it every time.

practice. sounds like you have most of the necessary components. see what settings the shocks work best on and how high you can stall that converter at the line. check which pinion angle works best. once you know all that you should be able to hook consistently and get those 60s down.

Hello,

I would try the items out you have and see how the set-up works and go from there.

Lower control arms are a good idea as well as shocks if you don't have them.

Hope that helps!
