Suspension help
Hello guys! I’m looking for some help getting this car to hook! Struggled all last season on radials. I made the switch to a 28x10.5 slick this year and still having trouble. I think I may be hitting the tire a little too hard. I know the tire psi is a little low in this video, but regardless of where I had it it did the same thing. Antisquat value of 111% ic 42 inches. Any help would be appreciated.

Out of 19 clicks of adjustment the rears were at 10 compression, 10 rebound. I increased rebound by 2 clicks each pass maybe up to about 14 before the day was over with not much change. I am considering switching my 110 springs to a set of 125s that I have to slow down the hit a little, and see if it helps.

I installed Viking double adjustable front and rear I had to soften compression all the way down in the rear and soften rebound all the way in the front. I couldn’t beleive I had to max them out but after a few test passes it’s what it took and dead hooked once I did

Rebound was set at 8 clicks in the rear turning it from the minus to the plus pretty much right in the middle. And I kept compression at 6 clicks in the front turning it from the minus to the plus. But it seemed to work for me i have to max mine out to get the weight transfer to hook I think bc I don’t make enough power with the gearing I have in the car to get the weight to transfer on its own.

Engine, trans, t-brake, gear ratio, rear tire size, power level, rpm on leave, vehicle weight?
I just picked up a big turbo camaro w/ Viking DA on all four corners and intend to hit the track this season so a baseline would be great.
