Ladder bar and shock tuning for super class
 
Just thinking about suspension tuning for super street or gas cars with throttle stops activating basically immediately after launch. .05 to .3 basically where the object is consistency not necessarily the quickest 60 ft. As a rule i would think pulling power that quick would be similar to launching with less power so a typically violent ladder bar might work better than it otherwise would or a shorter ic on a 4 link. I know every car is different just wanted to see in general what differences between these kind of cars and non throttle stop cars you shoot for suspension tuning wise.

None of the SG roadster guys I know can bracket race their cars wide open. The IC is too short/high in order to get the front end out of the beams ASAP. As you mentioned, they can get away with it because the car goes on the stop before the car can get out of shape.

This is probably less necessary now that they gave everyone .030 back on the tree.

I personally don't do anything different, as my cars can cut a light without issue and are bracket cars first and foremost.

Normally you tune a car for best 60ft but i dont think thats necessarily the best approach in ts racing. Seen some really violent s gas cars last weekend before the stop came on. Consistency is king and the cars need to hook when the stop comes off aswell
