How do they feel on the street?
Also witch ones should i use at 3800lbs at the starting line?

---

My car rides nice on the street. When I race I set my Rancho's on the "9" setting. On the street I set them on 2 or 3 to soften the ride a bit.
No sure what to tell you or suggest with your second question. The 002 & 003 springs are rated at 3000#-3200#. They lift the back end of my car up about 2". That's why I use the lowering blocks.
3800# HD springs actually drop the back end down. My friend uses them on his "65 "B" body.
Personal preference, I guess.

I too have tried most of the combos listed. My current set up has "A" body SS springs(002-003). I run Rancho 9 ways set on 9. NO SNUBBER. I also run the Centerforce "11" clutch assembly. A833 18 spline. From personal experience, SOMETHING has to slip, unless you plan on breaking parts. My car is set up to slip the slicks about 10 feet at launch. Radials with a stick car don't work. I run Hoosers (29" x12"). My 60' times are around 1.54-1.60, depending on track conditions, but my car is a street car that I take to the track sometimes. It's not an all out race car. Also, my car weighs 3726 without me in it. With my 200+ pounds, it's a load to get moving. My rear gears are 4.56 Dana's. Hope this helps you get pointed in the right direction.

Must say I love the look of this car
What rpm do you leave at and what is the Rpm at the stripe?

Thanks. I leave anywhere from 4600 -5600. Last week at T&T I was leaving at 4600 and pulling 1.54 short times. I have my shift lite set at 6000. I trap at around 6400.

I have 3800# springs on mine and it sits nice I think,here's a pic in street trim

I like the way yours sits, Gus. I actually have two friends that run the 3800hp springs and they both set way lower than mine does.

I'm trying to decide what suspension to complete out the rear of my car with.

Some thing that I just remembered about the rear suspension and a stick car. No matter which spring you end up using, try to get the front spring segment as close to parallel to the ground as possible.
