Before the obvious is stated,,,, I know the street is NO race prepped track!
However, it seems that some guys are getting ALLOT more traction than I am...... My car is just blistering the Hoosier Quick Time Pro's on the street with a fast jab of the throttle!!!!! It is completely effortless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have 3 way adjustable shocks up front set to 90-10, 50-50 in the rear.... Home made Caltrac setup "on S/S springs",,, I know, I know.... Mono leafs are better.... Battery is in the trunk for weight dist, fiberglass hood for weight reduction, Big aluminum heads certainly weight ALLOT less, lighter aluminum radiator....
It just seems like it should be spinning less than it does.... I thought about raising the front end with the torsion bars a bit,,, Has anyone done this to help out??? I didn't do it initially, because I figured whatever slinging effect up I could get to transfer weight on the rear wheels would be gone....
I went for a drive yesterday and just couldn't get it to hook with any aggressive acceleration, even if I spun them a bit "short burn out" to heat them up, and then stopped and took off again...
Any secrets out there??
