Thanks for all your responses! i took the shocks off and did the rebound check and the left one was hella loose! so i dialed them in equally (as in turns on knob)and i will adjust them as needed,i did make sure nothing was broken and everything was good,the only thing i can think of is that my dad was playing with the knobs before i installed the shocks,cus the directions said they are set on the sofest setting possible,and i called strange they said 4 turns out (stiffen) then adjust from there...so it should be fine now!! i am sure that will improve my 60ft times a little to along with my rt's...the car always launched straight up evenly before i changed the shocks!! below is a pic of how it launched! ohh yea and the reason i changed all this stuff the car sat for 3 yrs cus i had a little girl and put racing on hold,now i am getting it all back together (new fuel lines,all new fluids,tranny freshened,new torque converter,carb rebuilt,new engine,new slicks,and all greased up!) i did go to the div 3 points meet at trails a few weeks ago,but had some issues with the new carb setup! but now thats fixed and i will get the suspension dialed in and be ready to hit it hard again!!
THANKS AGAIN!!
