    CME crate engines

    I am happy with the 522 they built me. Their HP/TQ # were higher than advertised. Dropped motor in and fired right up. Car ran flawless at the track. My only issue is that they were a little slow on the build wasn't that big of a deal though.

    MSD Pic

    Don't use 3M. When it gets hot outside it will not hold. I put mine on that side also but used the mounts provided. I mounted it to the fire wall on the inside the car.

    Pass. side rear sag?

    I have sub frame connectors so hopefully that is not the issue. If the t bars don't fix it I will have to look at that next. - - - Updated - - - When it stops raining around here I will get the car out and check

    Pass. side rear sag?

    Springs are installed on the correct side. I have new bars up front and just had the front aligned. I was grasping at straws with the "shocks" because I can not figure out why the pass side is sagging

    Pass. side rear sag?

    I just replaced my SS springs with new ones because the car was sagging a lot on the pass. side. When I laid the old one on top of the new one there was a 3-5" difference. The old one was flattened out for sure. So I knew I needed new ones. Now that I have all new parts bolted in the...

    Adj. shocks with SS leafs

    I am very impressed with your car. My best 60' time is 1.54 but I upgraded the motor and stall this year. The 3 way Comp. Eng. shocks were inconsistent with the old set up so I need to upgrade the shocks. I looked at the QA1 shocks but the ext. length specs seem to be a little short for a SS...

    Adj shock starting point?

    Calverts make front and rear shocks but I am not going with there rear shocks. I am looking at the Afco rear single adjustable shocks. Good suggestion though, I will get a hold of Afco to see what they have to say.

    Adj shock starting point?

    I am getting ready to put single adjustable rear shocks on my drag car only. Was wondering what my starting point should be. Max tight setting or loose and adjust until I find the best 60' times? Front suspension: 90/10 Calverts and 318 t bars. Rear suspension: SS springs(in board), Dana w/4:56...

    Ladder bars or 4 link?

    I have an appointment to take the car to the shop so I can get an estimate on cost for the job. Sucks though because they told me they couldn't get it in before the 2nd week of September. Hopefully I can get it back in time to get it down the track this year. How long should a job like this...

    Rear Leaf choice - SS or XHD or?

    The SS springs: pass side 8 leafs, driver side 6 leafs. The extra leafs on the pass side are positioned towards the front i.e. 8 front/6 rear. The pass side sits a little higher than the dr.side. The ride on the street is fine. It sites a little higher in the rear so you will need a longer...

    I gave it a visual but nothing stood out as out of the ordinary except the shackle at an 135* angle.
