Going to take Road runner to track again this weekend and plan on doing a few onsite adjustments First off I plan on dis connecting the front sway bar.. Do I need to disconnect both sides or just one side to make inoperable? Second I run 275/60-15 nitto drag radials, I am thinking about running 15 psi of pressure, is that two low? Finally I for a set of Rancho adjustable shocks for back with 9 settings. I run 3600 SS springs, what I have read on here is most guys like it at setting 7, 8 for stiffness? Is that a good ball park Here is the ride again 1972 road runner with mild 440 in it, and ayto transmission.. I got 90/10 shocks up front, and the rest is stock. Back super stock springs, pinion snubber and Rancho shocks Thanks in advance Mikey

Unhook both sides, 16-18# of air and 7 is probably an ok starting point on the shocks.
Have fun!

If you are going to unhook the sway bar do both sides. I tried it once on a mild 440 (12.90 in a 3850lb car) and it didn't do anything. 15lbs in a drag radial is to low. Try 22 to start with. No idea on the shocks, but w/ the SS springs you won't need the snubber. What are you shooting for?
X2 on the no snubber. Footbraking you will not touch it.

Hope So, what would be a good launch rpm? It has 3.55 gears so I plan on shifting early like 5200 to maximize top end hp
