thanks eric for asking
this car is a 67 coronet
440 tweek to 474 now 8 ta conv 4200
on alk, dominator.
car started life as a 12.20 car 30 over 440, full stock inter say 3800 # w 430 gears 29 tire
we put some work in it put new hd springs on it
it then ran 12.0s sixty 1.67 -1.70
since those days it now has the 474 in it
410 gear same tire 29,
running alk and as only ran the best of 11.0 s
at 123 plus mph and 60 has been in the 1.67-1.68 range
we have 60 better with the ss springs at a 1.59
there is alot going on with this combo as you can tell by
the frustration in writting
this car should be running i think alot faster
as the mph suggest
as for cal tracks the money we spent vs the money we spent on ss
we do not see any pickup any where for that
we can rebolt the ss back on this car and have
and duplicated the 1.59 60 , so idono?

Dennis..am I correct in saying you used the HD springs with the Caltracs?...if so..that may have been the mickey in the works. The Caltracs work best with the mono or worn springs. Not very well at all with a SS or a HD spring. I'm not saying you guys don't know your stuff..but there are many out there, including myself, who have had great success with the Caltracs. Is a ladder bar a better race application..sure...even better with a 4-link in most cases...but the Caltracs do work for most...
