GY3... when you say shock settings are at 7, do you mean 7 clicks from full tight? What front shocks do you have on it? In the 60ft range you're in, I would definitely move to the upper hole.

I suggest moving to the upper hole and continue to click the shocks tighter 2 clicks at a time. The car will pick up 60ft as you do it until it gets to a point where it spins. Then back them off 1 click. That will get you close...

From there it's a balance of rear shock setting and front shock setting to optimize further.


I am at two clicks from Full tight. I did 9 for a while which is the fully tight setting and it spun a little. My main problem is the track prep goes away quickly at a Friday night Grudge night because of all the super hard street tires pulling up the prep and the rubber. Going to get some hits in on a decent track in the next few months and we'll see what happens. Definitely going to try the top hole but probably won't get to it until next season.
