I just put Cal Tracs on our car. Called their tech line and received information on exactly what you're dealing with. I was told that the shock settings on my 10.90 car were to have the shocks set at number 7 setting. If it does what you're saying...hook, and then spin30-50' out...change the shock setting to number 8. I would highly recommend calling and chatting with their tech folks. They were very friendly and helpful with my setup. Tom
