Front suspension question. pics
Front suspension question. pics Went to the track Saturday and my wife got some good photo's of the car in action. Here's a sequence of pics for one of my runs, my question is at what time should the front end settle down so I'm not having so much air under the car slowing me down. I'm running QA-1 R series up front w/QA-1 springs rated at 315lbs. Setting was on #1 so front end would come up quick.. What's your thoughs based on these pics? Or is this normal? Looks like it settled down just past the 1/8th mile.
If you make the front end come down you will lose hook. That looks like you have a good pass going there.

Verdad Gallardo what size shot are you running? I have a little over a 150 shot in mine at the moment with 243 heads and cam that got my best 60' down to a 1.45 with stock shocks and springs.
I launch just above idle and the nitrous comes on at 3000 rpms, so probably only a few feet before it kicks in.
Running a 100 shot with stock heads and a mild cam.

Since your still on your 10 bolt I'd say keep it how you have it. I spray out of the hole with the transbrake getting the stall up to about 3000 which really helps my 60' I think, but I'm running a 12 bolt rear.
Wish mine had that kind of weight transfer. That's true and no offense taken, looking for input.. Just wondering, why 4k for the nitrous to come on? I'm a nitrous newbie, trying to learn what I can.
