QA1 help

[terry1]

Thanks for the input.
Tony, I adjust my Cal Trac's the same as you.I adjust the bars until
the car comes out straight. With me in the car, 0 preload on both sides,
with the bars in the lower hole. Car comes out straight.
I found a great video on You Tube regarding double adjustable
rear shocks.
The info is straight forward, easy to understand, and, basic.
I would have thought that QA1 tech would have been able to explain
this in basic form like the video.

Have you tried putting the bars in the top hole with 0 preload and the ext.at 10.It should hit the tire harder and may pick up the 60' a few ticks.If you leave them in the bottom hole put a 1/4 turn preload in and set the ext. at 5.See what the car likes. gsa612

Thanks "gsa612" for the info.
I believe hitting the tires harder is not my issue.
I tried the top hole, did not work.
Keeping in mind that I have a 4-speed and launch at 6700.
The lower hole of my Cal Tracs with "0" preload gives me the softest hit.
The stick" guys I see and talk to in Div 1 all use the bottom hole
for a soft hit of the tires.
I believe a soft hit with a relatively hi RPM launch is just about right.
Having said that, I believe the shocks are going to complete the launch.
My clutch is set up just about right(I figure).
I have accomplished a few 1.50 60 ft times, problem is ,not often enough
and not constantly.
