got the car to hook on hoosier,s best time 5.70 with some testing looking to go in the high 50,s

I was think the same thing, all good until the tires. If you got it work ever, you were doing pretty good. The tuning window must be pretty small.

I take it your running the 8.5 wide class? If so you running it on just the motor? Are you using a trans brake? If the answer is yes to these don't spary it till it get atleast 60' out & try a lower starting line RPM

You can do all you want to the back end, but if the front dont work, you wont hook. My pic is on 30x9x15 slicks. You need some good springs and shocks up front. www.santhuffshocks.com and KONI street adjustables will get er done.....for a while

thank's, I run the 8.5 class with trans brake at 3000, going to try 3600 with timing ramping a little slower, I agree the santhuffs WORK is there a big diference between moroso trick springs and the Moog, i,ve read a few thread,s and a lot guy's are using the moog, that 72 is looking good, thank's again Jeff
