I think I need to lower the ladder bars. They are between 0 and 1 degree down in front. I have 13.2 pounds in the 31x13 slicks. It looks like the tires are getting hit to hard the way the face of the slick is "puckered". Any suggestions.

A close up of the tire

more air, tighten the extension to start,Mike

whats it weigh, what gear?

I have the extension about as tight as you can for greatlakes gragway. The track has so many bumps in it. I had the double adj. Strange shocks tighter but I didnt like when you could read the name on the door from the starting line at the 1000 ft cone.

Do you have single or double adjustable shocks? Doesn't look to far off to me. I would tighten the extension as well, unless you are already up there. How old are the shocks?

Shocks are double adj. Strange whent thru them last winter. I can run them tighter at goodtracks but the picture is from a marginal track and thay are about as tight as I feel is safe. The track has bumps down track and if the shocks are to tight they dont recover well over the bumps and it turns into a scary ride.

You could definitly drop them down a hole. Do you have the 3 or 5 hole brakets? You could also leave the bars where they are and take alittle pinion angle out? Just a thought.

old picture but 5 hole.

Air up the tire

The bars are in the secind hole from the top and that is between 0 and 1 degree down. It whent 1.37 in the 60 in that picture. Just not wild about the tir puckering like that. I thought that maybe a slightly softer hit that is applied a little longer might be better and maybe weight transfer better. The car sucks whenit dosent weight transfer. losses a tenth on the starting line.

Yep,try adding a lb.How many passes are you getting out of those sidewalls?

It doesn't look to far off to me. I think I would creep up on the tire pressure before adjusting anything else. According to Dave Morgan's door slammer book, your car is working pretty good. He actually has a pic of a cuda doing the same thing and he states that this car is on a good pass.
