At the next race you can see in the pic that I now have the chassis hooking up awesome, and the porpoising is gone. I made several of the changes that were advised here on the board, the rear shocks are calvert adjustables set at 8, fronts are calvert non-adj, switched from 870 bars to /6 bars, new 29x13.5 QTP,s, and adjusted the pinion snubber wich is still in question. The car was leaving at 1800rpms and got a best 60' of 1.54 w/125 shot of nitrous via a WOT switch, and a 1.61 60' on motor, anyway the porpoising is gone and the car seems to be deadly consistent running its dial. I was talking to my race partners and they said that I finally got that suspension transferring weight and I did it with some Hoosier QTP's wich are just about as good as slicks, for my slow car.

When I ran my 10.59 my 60' was 1.63 and my 1/8th time was 6.89 I was racing 1/8th mile only so I dont have any new 1/4 ile times but I know its gunna beat a 10.59. I only made one nitrous run and the car went 1.54 60' with a 6.75 1/8th time, im driving to the track soon to get that new best slip soon, after I refill my bottle!


What is the recommended distance the pinion snubber should be set from the floor?
