Thanks guys.

Cap this was my first time doing stuff like this. One of the main points of this truck for me was to learn. Had never done a turbo car and never done custom suspension work so I have learned a lot throughout the process. A lot of stuff I would have done differently too...

I'm pretty happy how the suspension turned out as it hooks nice, has a ton of adjustment, and when the tires let loose it still runs really straight without trying to dance around on me.

None of it was probably necessary as I could probably get to my 9.XX 1/4 mile goal with just caltracs and shocks but this is a lot more fun haha.

 

That's something I can relate to, I'm doing my build with the same thought of learning it as I go. Suspension has always been a trouble area for me so when I see someone tackle something like that I'm envious!

 

I have referenced several books throughout the process to try to help understand what I needed, "How to build a winning Drag Race Chassis and Suspension" was pretty good and there are a lot of online articles that have some detail.

I have found there is a lot of different theories on setup though and feel like with the power level I'm at now and the new drag tires my setup is working well but not necessarily because it is adjusted correctly.
Seems like the tires are sort of a handicap to a correctly setup suspension.

Maybe once I go E85 and turn up the boost (or maybe at the current power but with the sloppy trans brake) I'll see the limits of the tires with my current setup and I'll be forced to learn the adjustments a little better...
