I'm still fighting with my mile high 60ft time. The car is a 98% street car, i race it only ones a year for a weekend. I have no race track near by me for tuning uses, so i have to do it at this single weekend. People use a lot of street tires and have oil downs all day long..... Most of the day are about 2h between to runs!
The car runs trouble free all day long, but the traction is bad. I run 10x26 Hoosier, QA1 single shocks on all 4 corners, Caltracs and multileaf springs, aluminium bushing in the front.
The race ready weight of my Satellite is 4030 lbs, 60ft is somewhere in the 1.8, 11.88 @ 118.
Tire pressure is 12 psi, with lower pressure the car goes sideways above 100 mph. with 16 psi
there is 1/2 inch unused tread on each side. Do i need higher pressure like 16 psi? Do i overstress the tire during the launch? I stopped also popping the clutch, the car loves softer engaging
loves the car.
If i raise the front, the car hooks better, shocks in the front are fully open, in the back set to 8 clicks.
Preload of the Caltracs is 1/2 turn in, some guys do 1 1/2 turn, should i do that? The pushrod is in the lower hole, i can't use the top hole in case of the multileafsprings. I have to modify
the front hanger if i want to use it in the top hole. Is it worth to do that?
I know i should do more testing, but i am completely wrong in some adjustings and you guys know a lot of a baseline setup.
