We have been from 380-800 lbs on base and 9.7/11.8/13.2 on the levers as we have tried to work through. From 3800-5000 on launch RPM. Front shocks on the loose end of rebound and the rear on the stiff end. Various combinations of the above.

All of that can work, but it kind of depends on your expectations. If you are really looking to go fast, and the basic car and engine are optimized, better double adjustable rear shocks and a more modern, smaller and lighter clutch could really help. I use advanced clutches from Rob Youngblood, but there are similar ones that are much lighter and more efficient than an older style soft lock. A bigger clutch like that has a bigger tuning window so they are a great clutch to start with, just know there are options if you want to go faster.
