Did not break anything, it went straight, and had some good numbers.

[image][url=http://s297.photobucket.com/user/raybryden/media/Scan0001.jpg.html]

if the scan works, that is the best run.
can't seem to get the scan larger.
60' 1.492 1/8 6.652, 104.27 1/4 10.442, 128.92

the 60' is about where it always was.
1/8 et same.
1/8 mph about 2 higher
1/4 et maybe .15 lower
1/4 mph 2.5 - 3 higher

I was able to get it scaled and it lost 200#. 3230 from 3430. front was 1710, rear was 1520. I was hoping for a better bias. The whole car on scale was 3210.

Since it went straight and handled great, I think I can get more aggressive with the 4 link. I was alone, so no video or pics. I think it had too much wheel speed, bit still had a decent 60'. The front shocks were set 2 clicks up from minus, so I think I can loosen the front some, since it did not wheel stand. The 4 link was set to "try it here first" from the instructions. I am sure it was not set very aggressive. Instructions do not tell what next after it goes down the track. I don't want to get too carried away, but I am guessing I would raise bottom bar 1 hole in front and drop top bar 1 hole in front???

The best ever 60' was 1.405, so I believe I am giving away .1 right there. I did go with a taller tire now, so that would affect then and now also.

I had 11# in the slicks and there was no Tennessee 2 step, so I am sure I can drop that down also.

Any tips on getting that 60' would be appreciated.

Your best bet would be to either draw up the 4 link
on the floor OR get a program for a 4 link(they are
pretty cheap) and enter all the points in it so you
can figure out the next step... based on what you said
you might want to raise the IC but you might not want
to shorten it... depending on your HP/TQ you would
maybe start out at about a 45"-50" IC length and up
a couple more inches than what your at now.. that will
make it hit harder
