Default Post Hal settings that work best for you at the track.

Ive been running 0, 1, and 2 in the front R series, and 3-ds/4-ps, 3-ds/5-ps, and 4-ds/5-ps. I wanted to see if Im far from what works the best at the track. Thanks.

Best 60' = 1.374
Average 60' = 1.41
346ci LS1 N/A

Front QA1 = 8, 8 (clicks towards softness from 0)
Rear QA1 = 6, 7 (clicks towards stiffness from 0)

This setup has been very consistant for me at my local track, however if I race at different track near me I have to make some adjustments. The other track hooks better and launching the car with this setup will pull a wheelie to the 60' beams. I reduce the fronts from 8 to 4 clicks from 0, and set boths rears to 6 clicks.

Your own results will vary depending on track surface and conditions.

Do you want the car to squat or not? I would assume the stiffer (higher) you go on the settings, the less it will squat. Have I been running the rear too soft?

Honestly it will depend on the track conitions. You will want some squat on the rear but when I have trouble hooking I add a few clicks to stiffen it up in the rear and I get a better bite even though I may not squat as much.

Do you race at the same track all the time? Go to a few test and tune and change and record settings and see what gives you the best results. What works for my car will mostly like not be the same for yours at your track etc.

Good luck let us know how you do!
