HALs and 60's
 

I have read different things on the hal setting ranging from stiff front to loose fronts from stiff rears to loose rears. Will you guys post your settings along with your 60's so us rookies can get a clue?

I'm a rookie to with Hal's. I have stock shocks upfront & Hal QA1's in the back set all the way loose/soft. Last weekend at 32 degrees outside I cut a 1.68 sixty foot time, and several low 1.7's setup this way.
I have Metco lower control arms also, on BFG drag radials. Fred

2 in the front and 4 in the rear. 1.45 60 foots. :devil:

I'll offset the rears sometimes with the right at 5 and the left at 4, I will go from 0-2 for the front settings, can't really be around zero anymore due to the addition of the iron block......

Do you have a 6 speed or automatic. I have a 6 speed and run 2 in front and 4/5 or 5/6 in the rear, depends on the track. Any looser than 2 in the front and the shifts get a bit bouncy gouing down the track. I would not recommend any looser than 2 in the front on a 6 speed.

0-2 in the front 5-6 on pass rear, 4 on drivers side rear. 25# in the airbag.

I only have HALs up front, and I usually run them at 4 when i have the Hooisers on, 3 and sometimes 2 when i had DR's on it.

what about the guys that run stiff up front and loose in the back?

2 or 3 on front with Hal shocks
6 on driver' side rear
9 on passenger side rear, no adjustments to rear shocks

have metco control arms

best time in sig

best results around 14 air pressure

I usually run zero in front and 5 and 7 on the back (sometimes 4 to 5 on the back). I have stock front springs and at least 60 lb more weight in the front end than stock car due to the turbos. Since I have no traction til mid third gear its impossible for me to say what works best.

gary are you coming to the shootout on the 29th?

I only have the fronts and I set them at 2. My best 60ft. so far is a 1.62 with 27" QTP's. Also rr airbag at 20 psi.

Can't make it, wont be drag racing much for a while. Still need to buy some slicks, otherwise it pretty much a waste to have to be at 50% throttle until third gear.

Whats that thing running with nitrous anyway?

Good luck, you will probably win again :)

well find out on the 29th. it dynoed 567rwhp and 640 ftlbs of torque on a 100 shot. should be for an interesting launch on bottle off the 2 step, especially with the new hals.
