Hey guys,
I have a built 05 and need some advice on alignment specs for the drag strip and also want to know if I'm doing anything wrong suspension wise. I cannot seem to cut better than a mid 1.6 60'. My best run so far is a 11.3 at 124/125 mph with a 1.6x 60'. Specs on car:
Quick engine specs:
- Built block forged and stroked
- KB 2.6 at about 16 psi (making 610 wheel and about 550 ft lbs on 93)
- Comp cams, built valve train but stock valves, Fox lake P&P heads
- Bassani headers
- Afco radiator
- Afco heat exchanger
Suspension/Drivetrain specs:
- Strange 10 way adjustable shocks and struts
- Newer cobra jet springs
- BMR adjustable UCA
- BMR double adjustable LCA
- BMR double adjustable a-arms
- AJE racing k-member
- S&W 9" rear stock width w/ true trac and 4.10's
- BMR Double adjustable panhard bar
- DSS aluminum shaft
- TR6060 stock gt500 clutch
- Shelby tr6060 shifter
- CHE torque limiters (currently trying it with only passenger torque limiter installed because headers in the way on driver side)
- No front or rear sway bars
I'm currently using the Mickey Thompson bias ply cheater slicks. I feel like I should be running in the 10's the way the car is setup now. Cant seem to get a great launch or 60' time. Car squats hard on the passenger side even with the shocks adjusted to be stiffer on the passenger side rear but maybe not enough? Do I need to install an air bag on the passenger side? Also, can I get some help with alignment specs for camber, toe, caster, etc? My suspension is all fully adjustable. Also, it seems like my car starts to fall on its face the last part of the 1/4, is this due to timing being pulled from heat? I just got the new GT500 fan, hoping that helps, and going to be cutting into my hood as well for some air flow.
Thanks in advance!
