I have a friend that has four corner scales that I can use, but I am looking for some help. From what I read it looks like it should be a 50% weight left to right and front to rear weight. I should have my car into the high 9 and bracket racing in the 10.20 index class. I would appreciate any help
First thing you need to do is scale it, its probably heavier than you think. I think the Afco double ajustables work good on the rear, I usually limit front end travel, but my car is 50/50, of course 30x9 Hoosier radial, 28 inch moroso up front. Bob West would also be a wealth of information on this subject, "72 Chevelle"
