Default torque arm angle?
What is you arms set to? Mine is at neg 1 right now. Is this ok?

Its a street/ strip car with stock 10bolt 323's Stock rear suspension, with lca(not relocated) qa1 in front with 300lb springs, no front sway. Car makes like 400 hp, runs 11.70 in 1/4 my sixtys are around 1.68

I have not improved much since all my susp mods and my hp has not changed. Just trying to figure out why my sixtys are not improved. Maybe the angle is off...... thanks

You can try taking it to -2 or even -3 for the strip. I run mine at -1/2 or it vibrates like hell on the freeway.
