I have some questions.....how does the suspension react to adding/removing preload on the springs? I have tried both upper and lower holes so far and can feel the difference in tire hit, but there must be more tuning in the preload other then getting the car to go straight right?
doug, i called you but went to voicemail, i can get your car to leave like this.

Yep...he "craped" the bed right in front of me...I was just about to do my burnout...And yes, I was a very busy boy...still a little wore out. I just wish I had more time to tune....it wasn't all there out of the box. to bad, 'cause I think there is another .5 sec in the suspension...

I found this an a non-Mopar site:
CAL-TRAC SETTINGS
Top hole – Hardest Hit (start here)
Bottom hole – Softer Hit, moves IC forward
More Pre-load, Softer Hit
Less Pre-load, air gap, harder hit
If car pulls to the right add a quarter turn of pre-load to the right bar and visa versa.
Set front shocks soft
Set rear shocks on #5, if car wants to porpoise go to 6 or 7 (harder).
If car spins, needs harder hit
Too much wheel stand…. Softer hit, restrict front travel
I think I posted these on classracer.com as well as here a few times. These were the instructions that John gave me over the phone in early in 2003 when I got mine.
However everybody's car is going to be different in the end.

I could tell the difference...maybe because of the weight (4k)...the upper hole hits the tire harder and I got more rise out of the front...I think a different tire would make a difference for me...

Anyone run the caltracs on the street? How are they?
Stiff, because I just leave 'em set up for the track and drive it that way all the time.

Mine is the same way.Everyone seems to like the top hole. My truck likes the to hole-a lot.I run drag springs and the new calvert 90/10s up front. It's critical for me to get a good weight transfer going. I assume this is because of the inherent forward weight bias most trucks have.
I can also tell you guys from experience that changing ride height via shackles and hangers directly effects the angle of the bar and thus instant center
