new PB at Atco today
 

I jumped in an SRT8 track day at Atco today (few ppl cxl'd)

The track was good but then faded as the day grew longer.
A second prep didn't seem to help but I did manage a new best

60ft 1.68
1/8 7.21@99.63mph
1/4 11.14 @125.63mph

The vid isn't the best but you get the idea

Enjoy!

u get ur 60ft down and that car will get in the 10's. fo sho!

Congrats. I bet those SRT's were right on your bumper!!!!

What shocks do you have in the rear? Seems like the car is really really quick to try to stand up after the launch and between gears. Maybe more of a tie down shock will keep the suspension loaded up and keep that big tire bark from happening on the shifts.

the reason it looks like that is because the car isnt leaving hard enough. if he can hammer off the launch it will squat. my car still has the stock 91 rear shocks and 86 iroc coil's i the rear and ive been 1.36 60 foot off the foot break.

good job chris. i take it you hade a better time at this rental then the one i went to that you were at. that one sucked for you!!!

congrats again now get a 10 second slip:mrgreen:

nice time

QA1's single adjustable
Front setting was 2
Rear setting was 5
Springs are SLP Eibach's all around (prob too firm for what I'm trying to do)

so should I soften the rears?

Very nice!! Congrats on the nb!! :)

Here's an 11.24 pass (kind of bogged)

Enjoy!

Congrats on the new pb :)

set the rears very soft. also launch the car harder, it will like it

thanks
I will be ordering the Spohn/QA1 rear coil over kit
w/ 150lb springs.

you want the rears stiff and the fronts soft

the fronts are good, just set the rears to 8 and try that

-brandon

why would u want the rears stiff? let the ass end drop and hit the tire harder, and traction is yours. these cars have simplistic suspension that works extremely well, even in stock form. a stiffer spring in the rear with a soft shock setting is what u want to get ur 60ft down. unless ur running steam rollers, stiff rear shocks wont help. i have a friend that runs the 8.50 index on a 10" tire with stock shocks and a little bit stiffer spring and goes 1.24 in 60ft. stock fronts as well. demonic if u could get ur 1.497 60ft down ud be going much better as well. a stick car should hit alot harder than 1.497.

i was on a lowered suspension that was more of a road race sus when i hit that 60' and w/ stock sway bar

now i have qa1s all around w/ the 275 springs in the front and stock springs in the rear w/ a wolfe sway bar and bmr tq arm relocation bracket and full scaled, i should be able to go 1.39/1.40 all day long now....

plus those settings are what tyson (PAF) told me to run. him and brian (madman) are the 2 best suspension guys imho for the 4th gen cars

-brandon

wasting energy/time allowing the rear end to compress maybe? :shrug:

on a small tire u want alot of front end travel and a stiff rear spring, in alot of cases a stiff shock will tend to make the tire unload and give u tire spin.

I'll let you guys know how things work out but I'm liking the rear coil over kit for $500
esp since I can adj the ride height
