need help tuning my suspension
need help tuning my suspension all i want is the car to hook the best it can with what i have, my lanch needs to be perfect!! i have a 4000 stall, strange single adj front shocks, comp 3-way rears, umi subframe connecters, moser m9 with dbl adj torque arm and relocate bracket, midwest double adj lower control arms and 26x11.5 15 hoosier quick time pros.
i plan to set the front shocks on the loosest setting, the rears at 50/50 and the pinion angle at -2 degrees. how does that sound?
my main ? is i notice the relocation brackets on the m9 have 3 places to install the lower control arms, how do you know which hole to use? what changes when you move the lower control arms?
and to improve times what should i do next??
is it possible to pull the wheels with the above setup and around 390hp?

You sound like you are at a good starting point. On the lower control arms, they should measure 2 to 3 degrees uphill from the rearend the body. I personally dont like the loosest setting on the front shock, but if it hooks keep tightning them until you lose 60 ft and back it off one click. The raise you air pressure a 1/4 to 1/2 lb of air pressure in the rear tires till you spin. With the stall, i would flash the converter and come out around12 to 1500 rpms to start with. Good luck and have fun
Id change the rears out for 10 way adj at minimum, so you can refine what the rear is doing. You could benefit from heavier then stock rear sway, if not a chassis mounted solid one.
