Does anyone know why I spun so bad on this run? My car barely squats and I'm wondering if suspension is binding.

looks like the front unloaded but not sure if thats when you spun.
whats your air pressure at? seems like it was pretty high.
what is your current launch technique/suspension setup...parts/settings/tire pressures etc
That run was 22 psi. I used to be able to run much higher pressures.
Launching the same way I always used to launch. Heat the tires as usual depending on temps, get on converter about 1500-1800, and stab it. This started this year when I added UMI drag bar, tunnel mount TA, and LCA relo brackets. When I had mostly stock sus the front wheels would come up a couple inches, rear would squat about half the travel of the wheel well, and dead hook every time. Now it's a crap shoot.Quote:

if you can share this information we can help more.
P.S. girls squat, race cars don't
what pinion angle [ -2/-3 ]
What LCA angle/mounting point in the relocation bracket [Tried middle and bottom ]
Tq arm front mounting location[ Fixed]
Tire pressure [Between 20 and 26, depending on temp]
Shocks/shock settings [Stock original]
Spring? [Stock original]
Rear sway bar/amt preload [Don't know how to set that]
Front sway bar? [Gone years ago]

is the front tq arm mount still at the tail shaft or shorter than OE?
Stock sway bar?
I agree it looks like it unloaded the front, but I'm trying to get an idea of where your current instant center is to help make suggestions....the OE shocks aren't helping things either
See post 5. I removed the LCA relo brackets last night and if I can find someone to go with me Sat, I'm going to see if it makes a difference. I have surgery tomorrow so I can't go alone even if I felt better.Quote:
