Default Missed the Setup on the Caltrax... = (

I am hit and miss on the caltrax setup since i have changed turbos,converters and rear gears every time i go to the track.... I have not seen many trucks make this much tire noise ever...... it lasted more then 800 foot.... http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u...t=VID00003.flv

Default well..

I would say thats even more strange... I have been 6.8X @ 108.7 already ON this pass my .60 foot was 2.02 went 7.07 @ 99 and 11.08 @ 121 Truck went dead strait but it never really pulled at all..... just flat and felt like it drove threw the converter the whole time.... I run MT Drag Radials... Chassis was WAYYYY off.... This was my last pass of the night and gave me the most data.....I am still on low boost but it was pretty humid and have to get my IAT under control.... it would not pull clean more then 500 foot ....... IDK if all the excessive heat was because of the wheel spin but I have been IAT 110 @ 138mph on 14.5psi @ 6000rpms.... that was when it was 91 outside.....

Man you have beast!!!!! That looks like a badass setup. When you get that thing dialed in it is going to be nasty.

I did hope u would chime in and tell me WTF i am doing so wrong..... I have been over everything front to back from shocks to springs going over ride height and pinion angle... possibly made more adjustments then i should have but...... hope all will pay off soon !!... I would like to see my truck in the mid or low 1.50s... anything any better would be a huge plus... but for now i would be happy making back to 1.6X ... And yes.. I have 5 screws on the inside and outside of bolth wheels... Truck was setup WAY to ridgid... I didnt know that was possible.. but i think i can ease up with the chassis when i smack the power off the trans brake
