I have found that if I can smooth out the G-meter dip at touch down, without giving up any 60', the car goes faster. There are lots of different ways to approach that, including wheel stand height.
That's what I found also with my old bracket car, trying to control wheelstands with travel limiters, timing and weight. When I finally got a good set of front shocks from Randy Manns et's improved and consistency came around. When I bought my stocker, I didn't give the QA1 shocks a chance. Phone call to Fast Shocks before it ever hit the track.
