Hi Guys
Need some solid input here,,gettting two sides from this at the track,,need results not guessing,,any one with experience need apply,,car now has been tuned down to 11.80's,the front end has no travel with the new v-8 springs,we cut 1 1/4 coils and lowered the front 2 inches,,you CANNOT push the front down more than a couple of inches by standing on the bumper,it has 90/10 shocks. and at the track on film it only comes up about 5 inches before it lifts the wheels about 6 inches,,my 60ft times suck at 1.680,
OK,,,Here are the two sides,,
one side says best senario is what i have as the car transfers right now as the front does not have to rise to come to full extension and plant the wheels,,
side two says just the oppisite that the car will run quicker 60ft times and et if the front is allowed to rise with stored energy of lighter springs. and will pull the fronts higher on the launch. and rear back throwing the weight on the rear tires,,
there are an equal amount on each side with opposing views,,
LETS GET SOME INPUT ON THIS,,,I HAVE ORDERED SPRINGS
IF it will make a differance in the last days of racing this year, I WILL DO IT,,
Thanks Charles
