was that a 03/04 cobra at the end in the background revvin up? nice runs

Slo5oh

Gross!

First critique, get a new videographer.
Your rear is waaaaay too stiff. Youre just slamming the tires and bouncing right off. It may be a combination of the rear being too stiff and the front rebounding too fast as well. You can see it well on your second race, the one against the truck.

What settings did you have your shocks on?

roostracing

my front struts were at 2 and the rears at 4

FivePointOhh

it may not entirely be the stiffness of the rear, front might be too light, maybe conbination of both. you are right though, he is rebounding entirely too quickly. its like, *up, down, bog, gooo* (it might not be a bog but you can hear the stress on the motor) IMO i say stiffin up the fronts 1-2 settings and see if you rise and fall becomes more gradual. only change one thing at a time

Slo5oh

thats what i said :-P


What shocks did you say you were running again Roost? Strange 10s?

FivePointOhh

i was just agree with you and adding in to adj. fronts first and see what happens with the rebound of the fronts

yea he has stranges

Slo5oh

Definately start with the fronts if your bouncing off the rears at only the 4th notch. If you have a newly paved road or parking lot you can practice while someone films so you dont have to wait for prescious little time on the track. You can get that squared away roughly just by visuial and then fine tune it with timeslips.

wanna keep the thread alive lol

a little update...

Went to the track only one time since my last outing...messed with the suspension a little...installed a battery relocation kit, installed the linelock, and put in an aluminum radiator along with a flex-a-lite fan...

about 100 degrees when i ran...

i ran the exact same...one 13.2 and two 13.3's BUT it was super hot...the car is hooking but i still have a slight bog...i think i need to raise my rpms on the launch...the only thing i can figure is my suspension is overpowering my car...i dont have much power...the next time out i will try a 5500 rpm launch and see if that helps with the "bog" i get...my goal is to run a 13.1 again but in the heat...if i can do that than when it gets cooler it should definately see the 12's...

my little boy is growing fast and alot of my time goes there...that is one reason why i do not log on so much anymore...i also only go to the track once every 2 months maybe so it takes me longer than most to dial in my car...
