ss/t newbi questions

My .02 for whats its worth...there are a few guys on here that have cars that fast that run in SST and its not an easy task..

First you need to limit the front enough to but a light on the .500 pro tree...most limit there to about 2-3 inches of upward travel at most...each car will be diff but with a stock suspension you dont want 5-6 inches, more than likely that will prevent you from cutting a decent light..

For cruise RPM, 4000-4100 might be best, as any more than that will put you on the stop for way too much time...most with 8 sec cars are on the stop for 4 seconds or so, and the higher the RPM the more time on the stop...

Shift on time if you can, as that will help with convertor creep...

If you are injected you can play a different game, let us know if you are carb'd or injected...

Go to Biondo's web site and there is some good info about TS ratios' etc...
