I want big wheelies
 

My car is running about as fast as I'd expect now, but it only gets a few inches of air under the tires and that's just not gonna cut it for me so let's hear some ideas, eh?
60 foots are 1.50-1.53. 327/275, Advanced clutch, 5.38 gear, Jerico w/ 3.19 low. Car weighs 2915 with driver, no ballast, on a 2910 minimum for E. Calvert split monos, 1 step lower than stock. Rancho RS9000 rear shocks set full stiff, Calvert front shocks. Old 6 cylinder springs with I think 1/2 coil cut off. Del-A-Lum bushings in control arms. Eddie Rezac linkage kit for zero bumpsteer.

How do your incrementals compare with a fast small block E/S car?

The 60' is about where I was running with a mediocre F/S 69 Camaro 255/350.

You can soften the compression damping those rear shocks some.

You can loosen the extension on the front shocks some.

Launch RPM?

Alan, I'm not sure how the incrementals compare - I'll do some research at Topeka this weekend. I kind of posted this tongue-in-cheek, but I'm curious nevertheless. The front shocks are not adjustable, and the rears only on extension.
Maurice - I've left at 5800 and 6200 with no noticeable difference in 60'.

Me too...

Have 52% or more on the back wheels.

Use an "old school" clutch setup in it, with a 40 or 50# wheel.....it wont be the quickest but it will yank the front end the highest

Found this photo from last July's national open at MAM...

Looks better but was 3 tenths slower in the 1/8 at that time...changes since that day:
More power, fresh clutch, Calvert split monos, and replaced the Moroso springs (that I cut too far) with the original worn out 6 cylinder springs in front.
Oh, and new M/T 3056STs last September.

Big wheelstands are only possible with gapless rings. :)

Do you have a data logger on that car? Being able to dial in that first hit with an adjustable clutch is crucial for getting up on the tires. Some ballast in the rear would help too..
