. First of all I wasn't being sarcastic I was being honest. By your response I wish I would have been sarcastic. I learn by trial-and-error mostly by making the same mistake over and over again. And Real World Experience using leaf springs.. I see many fast cars that never pull the front wheel off the ground I asked a question you answered
I assume the answer you gave was correct
.no reason to get upset. Still curious on your rear suspension.. your 60-foot times are impressive.


My bad. On pain meds frown
I have 30 inch ladderbars (way too short) 33x15x15 stiffwall goodyears,130 lb springs (too stiff?), Afco big gun shocks.Torqueflite with 4.56 gears for a SLR of 11.17, which is considered hi for my ET in the Door Slammers chassis book. 46.7 percent weight on the back with a total of 3065 at the line. I would love to change this car over to a fourlink, so i wouldn't have to compensate so much with a very stiff shock setting.
I usually promote overspending on shocks, but didn't here because Brad has another thread on it. I think there is a lot yet to figure out on my car, after looking at data logger info. Also I am very impressed with the power you are making with the sb.
