Default Madman...Can you look at this

Brian, here is a vid of one of the better launches with the new G-force 5 speed and Soft-lok, lifted at the end. 60' was a 1.55. I haven't started messing with the clutch yet. 3* pinion, 4* LCA, QA1's 3 clicks from soft rear, 4 clicks front soft front, BMR drag bar preloaded for driver weight, 28x13.50 QTP @ 11.5psi, 7000 2-step launch. Any suggestions where to go now? Thanks.

Thought I would open post this as others could benefit.

Dave

Little tire spin huh =) loosen the front shock, also looks like your car moves to the left in the burnout, preload the right side more with the anti roll bar.

Thanks. Clutch is locked up tight, 10 turns from base each adjuster, no counter weight. I wanted to get it going straight first.

It seems to like that pressure but that is 11.5psi hot.

Clutch is a McLeod softlok adjustable. You can adjust base pressure and counterweight so it is like a slipper.
