Finally hooking
Finally hooking
I'm back with more info for anyone looking or trying to 60ft a car in the sub 1.5's and having problems.
I have been fighting these suspension problems all year going from one extreme to another with no great results.
Its seems what I have found to work is removing the airbags totally.. The car as of lately has been hooking but then losing traction after initial launch. After seeing some pictures of my car after launch I seen a huge gap between rear tires and body leading me to believe the suspension is actually fully extending the shocks then spinning due to the short jegster tq arm.
So then I moved my LCA relocation brackets to middle with no help, removed air from bags totally to allow more transfer on initial launch still no good - lastly removed bags totally and bingo!!
I ran (4) 1.52 60's in a row 5th pass spinning a little after fresh track prep, traction has always been bad for me and others until a few cars have gone over track prep.
Downfall now is the car has the token twist planting right rear more so than left but its hooks so I don't care really, future plans will include a BMR track link sway bar an possible coil overs but thats years away being I finally got kicked off track for no cage, I will be slowing car down.
Also this abuse has still all been on stock 10 bolt so I am living on borrowed time after 2 years of 1.5 60 fts.
Suspension mods include:
Front -- 90/10 C/E struts
Rear --- Spohn Weld on relocation brackets.
Spohn LCA's
Jegster Torque arm (fits with mufflex)
Hoosier 27x11.5 QTP's 14 psi3
Remove 4200 stall and replaced with super street fighter 3600-3800.
