http://youtu.be/hi-of3wkwQESorry about the quality, but it's better than nothing. Cal tracs Split monos leaf spring sliders Calvert 90/10 shocks up front Rancho shocks out rear on 5 of 9 Bars just touching, no preload M/T 3062W 29.5x10.5W, Stiff sidewall, 12.5# of pressure 3400 RPM off the 2 step, converter flashes to 5300 1.46 60 foot .013 R/T Tires look like they wad up pretty good, I've tried more pressure and 60 foots aren't as consistent so I brought it back down. Any helpful ideas are welcome.

Have you tried full stiff on the rear extension yet?
I just put cal tracks on my Barracuda this past week to try them out. Tested it yesterday and first pass I could tell it was too loose on the extension. Went full tight on the extension and it picked up .03 on the 60 ft the next pass.Just have junker comp 3 ways on the rear. I am footbraking it also and you are trans braking it looks like so the hit will be even harder.
Mine is going to like full loose up front with the extension from what I can tell with the few passes I made on a hot slippery track with junk slicks.
60 fts. only varied .004 so they are going to work pretty good I think.

Front shocks are not adjustable, 90/10 only. Stock front suspension.
I haven't had played with Rear shock adjustment, but I was going to stiffen them up next time I'm testing. As it sits I made 5 runs with 100-130 track temp and it was 1.460-1.468

You could also try putting some preload in it to take some of the initial hit out of it. Its hitting the tire pretty hard but since thats a stiff sidewall it might not mind it.

Thanks for the ideas guys, I like both of them! I'd like the sidewalls to last awhile, so taking some of that hit out of it would probably help tire life and consistency. I'll give it a try and report back

Get some front shocks!!!
Cool video. Love seeing the car move with the last amber lit.

Nice leave! It looks like your right there, you might try slowing down the extension just a couple clicks and see what happens.
Just a bit too much chassis separation.. Tighten the extension..

I've never tried more than 13#. No tubes for me at the moment. No rim screws either, and yes the tires move.

Looks good to me. Gets right back up on the tire.
Yeah, it's got a smallblock.
