cutting good 60s? whats your suspension setup
Im curious what everyone is running for suspension setups. Please include your 60ft times as well. Thanks
Last time at the track i had 4/6 drop, 26" ET streets, spring clamps, and doetsch tech shocks, no front sway bar. My best 60ft was 2.3 because i couldn't even get a hint of traction if i slipped the clutch right off idle.
Next time out i'll be trying 29.5x11.5 ET drags with 3/4 drop.

My best was a 1.62 with Hotchkis 2/4 sport springs, Hotchkis rear sway, disconnected front sway, DT shocks, 26x10.50 ET Streets on stock silvy wheels. This was also with the old 5.3/n2o setup on a well prepped track (NPR). I have yet to better that 60' with more power. Suspension is my next area of concentration after I get a new trans in the truck.

3/4 shackle hangar with doetsch tech shocks. 28x10 hoosiers. got some wheel hop.
yesterday i changed to some 100,000 mile old stock shocks and spring clamps. hopefully i can transfer more weight and not wheel hop. the stock shocks are WAY better than the doetsch techs in the comfort dept... the doetsch techs were too stiff for me. well see how it performs on the strip.
