I ussually start on the lift setting up the instant center points. Set the shocks by feel. Then make passes to see how it reacts, go from there. Really need double adjustable rears to set it up right.

I just tuned my car in up to 22psi. Finally 4 digit numbers but it really brought out the converter problem.Hoping to hook to 5.0's to 5.1's in the 1/8 next time out.

Ok ill start from there and order some da rear shocks the comp shocks I have I hear are garbage.....thanks for some direction

That must be crazy 22psi but now the converter hates you even more lol after talking with Tim I couldn't belice how much the converters will Cost to be efficient with your power 2700+ wow!
Its incredible your still making 1000+ with what must be a ton of slip. Good luck getting the 5.0 I bet you can with your current set up!

Yes,they get expensive.I'll switch someday. A 5.0 would be a 7.8 1/4 which is way under my cage, so no rush.

Awesome work

I bet your slip is so high right now lol
Maybe someone will sponsor you? That would be awesome to get a free converter I dont see why not just your reputation alone would get them business if you got something you thought worked well

I'll probably order a converter this week. We are stuck at these numbers and makes no difference where I shift.
Just hate to give up the launch. Dead hooks the 1.2's every run.

But with the new converter you could do 1.1's

Im sure with the converter that you need they can set it up so awesome where it will do everything you want..........It better for the money they charge!
