Re: A Ladder Bar Hole Tuning/Adjustment
 

72 GTO.

Car launches straight, carries the wheels But now has a traction issue:
Initial hit and spins recovers 10 feet out with loss of .08 to .1 at 60 foot with 3500 launch on 2 step on 5000 convertor

New best with a 6.41 at 105.5 and later spun at 106.

That was an improvement of over 4 mph when I ran a 6.58 at 101.8 from a carb tune, slight port match and a change from 3.73's to 4.11.

Still launching at 3,500 - 2-step with 5,000 still to grab.

Front suspension:

Rear suspension:

Try tightening the pull a part on rear shocks.

Happy Thanksgiving to all you guys and appreciate all your support and technical help.
Take care, Craig

Check your Koni shocks. After about 5 or 6 years and my car started acting up on launch. I found one of the Koni shocks was almost froze up. These were single adjustable and no setting adjustment would help. I ordered new Aftco double adjustable and the car came back with consistency and better 60’ times.
