Default Re: Setting up Cal Tracs

i have cal track everything in my 68 Camaro. The adjustable rear shocks are set the way all of my foot brake cars have been setup with fully adjustable shocks (this is the third car) at 50/50. i have tried everything but going to a really great prepared track and setting them on kill to see if there's a difference. The fronts are 90/10 with no snubbers. The bars, as per Calverts direction are set at 1/4 turn per load and have never been changed. the car pulls big wheel stands and is one of the quickest f/cm cars i know of. it launchs straight and drives straight. My sixty foot times are consistantly between the ultra quick Lancaster Dragway times of 1.32 and Toronto Motorsportspark times of 1.36-8. The only thing i can see using on a 9" tire car to calm the wheel stand down a bit would be wheelie bars, Ken Kier makes a great bolt on kit that i have been using when i run the oxygenated 109 fuel as it makes just enough torque that the car starts to drive under the wheel stand.
