Anybody at the track can verify what I'm.saying. This thing goes higher in second gear than the actual launch. We run a stick car so different from setups talked about on here. Last time out in SS/H we ran career best of 9.65@135 with a 1.43 60'
Check and see if Santhuff makes shocks for your car. They will control the wheelstands. They aren't cheap but are the best. Good to see your car running that strong. That is getting it done!
