Setting up Cal Tracs

[Dirk Olson]

Guys,

I have been reading all of your entries, all excellent advice. This car has a transbrake, knowing that, how it reacts will be much like a stick car. There are a ton of factors to consider. We all know that every car is differant and one must find that sweet spot. Launch RPM will be critical. Weight placment in the car also plays an important part. Converter also plays an important role, How loose is it and how much run at it, will change how the bcar leaves. I agree with Troy for this application double adjustables are desired. Afcos are spendy and there are others out there. Buy the best you can afford. I can tell this, I question the Landrum springs I had a set when I first started racing my B/S car. First pass bent them, sent them back they gave me a new and improved, first pass bent them again. I then cut the front half off and used them to support the front half of the stock spring worked great. I have replaced them with Caltracks.
