spohn torque arm adjustment.
Weird question which is confusing me is that it says to get the pinion angle you need to take the driveshaft angle and subtract it from the torque arm angle.
If lets say the driveshaft is 0 and the torqe arm is -1 is that 0- (-1) which is positive?
Im not sure but my car is spinning horrificly off the line. I have drag shocks in the back mickey thompsons dr's lca and the torque arm. If its the way i just said i think im actually a positive 2* on my pinion angle which will cause the spin right?
Im trying to understand how could i be spinning halfway through second

Re: spohn torque arm adjustment.
so actually im at a -2* then. so i have no idea why i spin so horrific
only other things are my lca relocation brackets arent in. i dont know how much that helps.
Then there is my tire pressure. I have it at 21 psi which probably i need to go down to like 17psi
BTW great vid tony

Re: spohn torque arm adjustment.
You just need those relocators in there. I did pretty well all the suspesion work to get my car to hook for 9's. I put the 305 back in running 14.4's and it now hooks on street tires pulling 1.8 60' times, let alone the 1.44 60' the good motor has done.

Re: spohn torque arm adjustment.
Want to go over your suspension setup kind of curious what you need to do to hook with street tires on a 1.8 60"?

Re: spohn torque arm adjustment.
What size are your tires? I run mine at 15-15.5psi, which turns out to be around 14-14.5psi cold. The tires have a noticable bulge to them, as in looking low on air.
