Calvert racing was the one who said not to change my shock angle but I want to switch mine. What materials did you all use to move the shocks the way you are saying? Have to buy anything? Besides the shock

I am running QA1 double adjustable shocks in the rear. I put them at a 10 degree angle. I may cut and re-weld them to 0-2 degree angle. Just not sure if it would make that big of a difference.

only been to the track twice. so far i have it down to 1.54. havent touched the trans brake or nitrous yet. i think theres more in the 60' on motor with some tuning. it's just too damn hot to mess with it. best 1/8 so far is a 6.86 n/a. needs some tune time. it's worth mintioning that im in a rcsb s10 with a stock bottom 6.0.
