Thanks Bobby,,,,that is a old pic eh ?
I dont know what the car will do in the top hole,,,might not like it,,,but easy enough to try,,,,and i can trim the hanger's pretty quick,,,and see,,,,plus i dont think i will move the springs to the bottom hole anyways,,,(no room to move them up either,,,so i think i am stuck where they are at)
Last year i was getting consistent 1.41-43's 60',,,better as i brought up the launch RPM,,,,
Going to throw some stuff at the car and see what it likes,,,eg,,,Calvert front shocks,,,play with the rear shocks,,,video tape the car a bit to see what it is doing,,,new slicks in the spring,,,etc,,,
My goal this year is to get UNDER 1.40 for a 60',,,going to try.... 
512 ? sounds cool......... 
Holler if you need any help! I need to get out and lay under mine this week too but 7 degrees I am not liking on cement.

OMG, you even have gloves on with that lab coat... RUN!!!
540's pic is consistent with what I was trying to convey.
As a side note. Trying to put the spring eye bolt in the top hole of the relo boxes would be murder.

explain this statement to me. because mine was in the top hole and i 60 footed 1.37 with caltracs going 10 teens footbraking.1.42 60 foots with more of a rake like dougs car sits now,my car wouldnt 60 foot until i lowered the rear.
putting it in the top hole lowers the car and will give less of a rake and more travel in the rear suspension and more room to go to the top hole.

Chris ,,the dodge and plymouth sure do have a different rake,,, mine looks to sit more like your dodge now,,,your plymouth is down there...  I think mine would like to sit lower,,,and would likely act better,,,the current springs are 1" OVER stock,,,do you know what springs you have (rating) when you got the 1.3x 60's ? thanks for the pics,,,,i'll take the dodge too (lol) Quote:

I may need to come over just to get some experience with the setup as I plan to buy the springs and caltracs as well.
I'll holler when I need the help and you can bring the LP too for a jam session.

doug, mine were -1" over stock springs but by lowering the front eye spring you can adjust the ride height and also if you take out preload you could lower it a little more.
what do i know i'm just a fish peddler.
