suspension mods for hooking @ the track
 
Up front I have QA1 adjustables with 300lb springs and no sway bar.

The rear has QA1s, LCARBs, SFCs, adjustable torque arm set at -2 degrees and M/T drag radials at 19-20lbs.

Anything else I should be thinking of for hooking when the track is hot/cold?

I will be running the QA1s at 1-2 upfront and 5-6 out back.

Thanks

A rear drag sway bar will help eliminate body roll off the line.

A drag, bar for shore

If you can't afford the drag bar right away, but an airbag in the right rear spring.

Z-rated94... if you are saying put an airbag in the right rear (passenger side) spring do you want that side stiffer? If so, why can't I tighten up the shock to 6 vs 5?
Also, which drag bar do you recommend? I do drive the car to the track 40 miles each way.
Thanks

The bag acts like a slightly stiffer spring on only one side, you still want the shocks to take the hit and act the same. The bag is kinda like having a stiffer anti roll bar on just one side keeping the car from rolling over.

thanks..
are the air bags the same and what (appprox) pressure should it be inflated to?
