QTR MILR OP enthusiast Q Joined: Jun 2013 Posts: 240 Ft. Wayne, IN.	Is it possible to hit a drag radial too hard with Cal Tracs?? I can't get this thing to hook up.... I've adjusted the shocks and bars to make it hit harder with no luck. I'm thinking I need to adjust it so it doesn't hit as hard?? Scott 69 Satellite, 3650lb street car...

I would recommend a good double adjustable shock. How much power are you trying to hook? Brett Miller W9 cnc'd heads STR Chassis fabraction

It will hook if I load the converter to 2000rpm but it doesn't hit the converter hard enough. Load it to 2500 and it spins.... 60 suffers regardless.... Best 60ft was 1.53 it runs 10:60 at 127mph.... I have Calvert single adjustables I haven't tried the bottom hole been all over with adjustments on the top.... Last edited by QTR MILR; 06/27/14 01:37 AM. Scott 69 Satellite, 3650lb street car...

My best is a 1.50 on just SS springs running 10.70's and the Cal Tracs seem to usually do better then SS springs as thats why I think you have more 60 in it. Good luck this weekend. Ron

That's why I was thinking its time to go the other way.... Scott 69 Satellite, 3650lb street car... Dunnuck Racing pump gas 440. Best of 10:60@127...

With a .125 shim then pull it out? SDG Motorsports Hellcat Demon and Redeye Supercharger CNC Porting https://www.sdgmotorsports.com/
