Turn them both all to left softest setting possible and what you launching at I got better then that in a stock car with just 26x11.50et streets

Biggest thing, same as the pros, change one thing at a time

Do not set them shocks to the lowest settings, set them at 3 at first in the rear and change the fronts to 5. I would start there first.

Lol 5 ain't good enough for the front ... I know, I'm running them in my car... Fronts are on 1 rears are on 5 . You want the fronts super soft so the front end lifts up and gets weight transfer I don't know if you understand what that is .... You sure as hell Won't get any weight transfer with the fronts on 5

Um. 2.0 is a shit 60'. I did 2.0's on stock suspension and street tires.

OP. 1 in the front, 5 in the rear. Then test from there.

Also, your rear suspension geometry is crucial.

With proper setup you and a little burnout you can dead hook on the street... Vids to be posted this weekend of street car having fun. The front ain't so low anymore.... Seriously though not trying to be a super dick but that's 60ft's embarrassing if you have any sort of drag suspension .... If you've seen how big no prep racing is down south you can make that ***** work like nothing .

This is with stock 4.6 NPi lt's and 373's. stock cut springs and strange 10ways front and rear.

duff daddy · Sep 5, 2013

Wow, this is an amazing tech thread with some good dick measuring.... dontforget most big power small tire cars that do amazing things on the street (IE boostedgt) Have the added benefit of of a boost controller....
