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. |

Re: I want big wheelies
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.

Re: I want big wheelies
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'. |
