Do you know the current spring rate?

My theory is as stiff as possible on the front segment and soft on the rear. Kind of mimic what a ladder bar does with the front being stiff and the rear having the springs that hold up the car. All the rear segment would do is technically hold the car up.

just add a small plate kit .....


I know...... LMAO , im just being "that guy"

Props for keeping it all motor

The level your at now......info doesnt seem to come easy .
As already mentioned, get with a "good" shock guy and hopefully you get some help. ALSO 235 radial cars are right at your ET level, and yes they have a power adder but some are leaf spring cars and maybe some of that info can crossover to your program.
Are you data logging, and do you have rear shock sensors to see the travel as the car is going down the track??

AND ....nitrous cars dont add power down track, usually the kit is all in by .9 or less , so in reality you are pretty close to a 235 radial car

There were a few 235 cars in the 90’s at Lights out. Was fun being down there watching them
Stef, who many on here know , was down there with his son and his 235 Duster with gen3 power. Brand new motor, they were in the mid teens with 1.15 60 foot leaving at 30% this in 85 degree heat. On Leafs, about 75 pounds to heavy
Not sure if it was Bradenton or Orlando but somebody went 4.65. I understand it’s an “ outlaw” car, not sure what isn’t legal on it, or who it was.

The car you speak of going 4.60's on a 235 , yes that is a Fox body with a Turbo BB chevy based engine, Its not follwing the 235 class rules. So really not a fair comparison that car can run 4 teens on a 275

Hollow 7075 saved a few ounces on each side

The Khouty boy's were having consistancy issues last year with their all motor car. Vince senior told them to take out the titainium 4 link bars and replace them with steel. It fixed the issue.

Has anybody thought about changing out the rear segment on a Calvert mono leaf for more or less stored energy ..
has anybody ever mixed a composite rear segment with a steel front segment
I'm currently working on changing things around looking for more stored energy however the Calvert Springs just do not have very much Arch definitely not as much Arch as I would like.. the rear end currently suspends 3 inches from ride height before the car has to fight the spring as well as the shock I'd like to increase that to 5 in of free travel and maintain a relatively low stance
