Hey Mike, How are you? The 60' was awesome. 1.325 The suspension limiters really do help. The travel without them is almost 6" and I have mine set for 3" of travel. I have had them set at this setting forever.

We have a private track rental at Beaver Springs Dragway on Oct 23rd from 12 noon till 8 pm. I will be playing with all my adjustable suspension components that day.

I really don't want to change things right now because I'm always bracket racing and get only 2 time trials before elims. The car is hooking well considering the track I run at. Pittsburgh Raceway Park. PRP is marginal for traction at best.

I'm going race at Thompson Dragway today. They prep the track very well and the weather should be decent. The track elevation is 1,300' i was told. PRP is 1,250'

Anyway, when are you going to get that car of yours to the track? Man that is one awesome 346
