Looking for some advice on my sons Dart, trying to get 60' down but getting very confused. Last season we were running Calvert fronts And Rancho rears with Calvert mono's and Caltracs.. Over the winter we installed Viking Crusader "drag heavy" shocks, RMS front upper tubular control arms, qa1 dynamic strut bars. The car last year averaged a 1.43 60' foot and was pulling the front wheels off the ground 8-12 inches. The best 60' with the new setup has been about the same 1.43 - 1.44 but it is not pulling the front tires up "maybe a inch or so.. In this video the fronts are set at 2 for rebound, 4 on compression, rear 12 on extension, 2 on compression.. This thing should be 60' much better !! Any advice is more than appreciated.. Thanks [video:youtube] https://youtu.be/J6JBO_ph2f0[/video]

I don't see a link to the video. Could be me.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

Looks like the back end isnt doing anything..no lift to the body.. tells me you need to hit the tire harder and what rpm is the launch

At the end of last season when we started racing it was reacting much better..and was leaving off idle..

just curious.... what's the combo? mph in the traps? gear ratio?
it's a 493, with 727, 4.30 gear with 29.5x10.5w slick per dyno sheets max torque 665 at 5100, max hp 710 at 6400rpm.may be a little more now due to some changes we made.. car is pretty consistent running 10.13-10.16 and going thru the traps at 131.5 - 132+mph.
