Setting up Cal Tracs

We now run a Coan 2.03 glide with a trans brake.
It is a 385sbc, ATI Tree Master 4700 stall, 3280lbs, 4.88s, 29x9 goodyear bias, calvert front shocks, leafs...everything. Set the 2 step at 3600.
Last year at ET Finals Topeka, it went 6.95 1/8, 10.90 @ 123 in 1900' DA with 13 psi in the tires.

We race on a marginal track every week at home though.
Last week at home, we were running 7.036 and 7.039 when the track temp was about 50. 60's were within .004, until the qtr finals and we spun a little.
At home, we pre-load 1/4 turn, top hole, ranchos on 3, 11.5 psi in the rears.

At well prepped tracks like Topeka and Eddyville, it doesnt matter how we set up, it hooks.
