What are you guys setting your shocks at? I had mine at 50/50 last year (was pulling 1.6 60' foots). Trying to determine if my shocks are set too stiff or what. I put on a UMI tunnel mount torque arm since then and a 9 inch, well long story short this year the car will not hook, it just wants to spin off the line even with the et radials. The only problem I may see is that the sway bar is touching the rearend where the torque arm bracket bolts to (that tubing that's tapped). Would that cause the rearend to be loaded and not hook?
Any help would be sweet, trying to get the car out friday and want it to get back to the 1.6 60' or better...

I am gonna try mine at the middle setting Friday night. I think that is 60/40 I guess compression/rebound. So the middle setting should allow the rear to seperate more (drive the tires into the ground) as apposed to the rear squatting over the tires.

I figured 50/50 was the best... I mean correct me if I'm wrong but the 40/60 and the 30/70 settings just allow the rearend to squat more/harder, this is working against what the ultimate goal is right?
