Default Madman..need some suspension help
I think the car is hookin too good now..lol. I will wrap them about 1/2 - 1 turn then this sucka bites hard and bogs the motor. I Added some PSI to the slicks and still nothing. Same thing..same 60' with 1.48/1.49s. Got all the way up to 14.5 in the 10.5 Ws. Even put a few clicks in the front hals. I left at 6800 and still did the same thing. I wasn't on the 2 step last night so I need to hook that back up so it can hit the tires harder. Any ideas?
