3.12222222

you only only have 2 holes to use really, just not 5.8 and more then 1 lol.... you'll see, check out what it dose between them.

2-3* and work off that. I dont think I've ever had a 4* setup, so not sure.
You just took a endlink off the stock front swaybar, lol your shock and tire limited then whats the "best" angle would be for you. this is saying you made 100's of passes on the same parts, and you maximized everything else and know the car to .5 psi tires, 100 lunch rpms, 1 shock click, for the track at that pass and back it up. Its just unrealistic.
Just get it in the right direction and work for you and have fun.

Hit 11's today. Went to the next hole up on the LCA brackets and kept an endlink unhooked on the front swaybar.

Im hoping with the 2 step installed I may be able to get the launch cleaner and maybe get a bit more mph out of it. I wonder if I did a chrs1313 cai I could get the mph close to 120?

Great to see the results of the rearend, suspension parts, and shocks! The M6 trans launch tuning is a challenge for sure but they are fun to drive.

Yes its a challenge alright! Takes a lot of practice and good parts, all the stuff I've gotten from MWC has been excellent. Went from 60's in the 2.2 down to 1.7, making progress haha. Im really curious to see how far I can go cam only with this car, i think the records are in the high 10's? I hope I can keep pushing through the 11's.

How did you get your car trapping 127 cam only? Must be a really big cam to use the 4.30's in the rear, were you running a 28" tire? I'll have to go reread your weight reduction thread my car is probably a fair bit heavier than what yours is in your sig.

This one of the best threads that I have read since studderin's weight reduction page. Martin from tick, you sir are the **** for give out some really good info. Now I don't have Viking shocks but I do have qa1 DA rear shocks and am planning on trying some of the stuff mentioned in this thread to see if it can help me out. The only thing that is not going to help is that I still have stock front shocks.

The biggest thing is have someone video your launches. You need to be able to see what the entire car is doing to make these adjustments properly I found. A go pro on the rear quarter only does so much. I learned a lot from the advice in this thread, thanks again to everyone who chimed in!

^^^ And this is why you see me at the races with my customers at the starting line. The GoPro on a tripod is extremely helpful in making these cars work.

You will definitely want to get a good set of front shocks on that car. Weight transfer control is the start of the whole process.

Give me a call... I guarantee you the lowest prices and have a ton of experience tuning the suspension on these cars.

Thanks ssvert99, right at the moment I don't have the funds for front adjustable shocks. Maybe around tax time but once I do have the extra cash I sure will be calling you!

We can help you for sure! Save as much as you can, as soon as you can... keep in mind a lot of the manufacturers will raise their prices before the end of the year. I can get you into a complete set of double adjustable front shocks for under 600.00
