Hello all, trying to set-up a 1980 Camaro.. leaf spring car. 3680 lbs. 90-10 70-30 summit shocks, moroso coils, slapper bars set to hit eye of spring there is about an 1" travel between rubber stopper and eye resting. Not sure of pinion angle or front and rear separate weights. Essentially stock other than what listed.
26" slick. Aluminium headed BBC, TH350 JW converter flashes to 5000 with current set-up.
Aside from Cal-trac's is there anything I can do to launch better? Don't have any numbers with current engine, but it did 60 ft. a best of 1.78 with the previous SBC with a best et of 12.01 @ 113. Car does squat a bit. Does have new solid bushings in rear springs, rubber trans and engine mounts.

Thanks
