Cal trac /mono leaf results
@70aarcuda, yes a 'glide.
@flyfish Thanks for the input. No, I don't take anything personal, I can tell by your tone that you are helping.
I do have full loose travel. Infact I had taken a front shock off friday, and made sure they were not topping out before the front end hits the limiters.They are not.After it hits the limiters, they have at least another 1 1/2" travel.
Yes, they are Cal Tracs 90/10. They extend like there isn't even a shock, then close slowly. I do have 5" travel, I can't lower it any more or it will be on the snubbers. I could cut a little snubber off, I did that on my Duster.
Making the shock extentions for the rear, won't change anything, it willl just help to make sure they are not bottoming out, so that is not really a change
Adjusting the bars back to 1/32nd clearance puts it back to where I was at the week before.
So the only changes I will really be making will be softening the shocks,and lowering the RPM's 500 RPM's (my prior posting was wrong, I met I was leaving full on the converter @ 5500, not 6500) A chip will make it more consistant, because depending on the time you are in the converter, the torque and Hp can very. In my opinion,when you limit it close to what your converter stalls at, then you will be more consistant on your launch. Besides that, no one needs to hit a full tree as hard as they can, unless you are going for E.T. and wheelies.Neither of those I am looking for.Fun, but not my goal.
Like I said, with the points thing on, I don't get any test time. Also, because our class is big, we may get only 2 time trials thrown at us, so that makes it even worse.
I also plan to call Calvert this week and pick their brain, they are very helpful.
If you also look at the post on FABO about CalTarc tunning,it says go softer, not harder if the car launches and spins. I was told wrong by my friend which way to adjust them.
There is one more trick up my sleve.I dumped my tubes this year, so that may have something to do with it, but I plan to do these things 1st.
Thanks again guys
