Re: Discussion about E85
We've been running a Mark sullens 950 since 2017 and it's a really good piece. I've made 7 passes with in .01 of each other and that's in a manually shifted car went 10.33 5 times in a row and 10.32 when the temp dropped when the sun went down one 1/8th-mile by run that was on pace for 10.32. That's...

Re: horsepower vs front shock settings
is there a point when i'm going to find slowing down the front more and more just doesn't work? The simple answer is yes. First, inspect and/or disassemble the Caltrac stuff and see if the aluminum bushings need to be renewed and the slider bearings are free. Correct as needed. Since the rears are ...

Re: horsepower vs front shock settings
Two separate circuits would be beneficial. A compression adjustment will help control rear squat. Rebound will affect how your tires stick to the ground after it squats. Try it on the trailer, you won’t hurt anything. Most trailers don’t have shocks so they inherently bounce like a sob. Leaf spring...

Re: horsepower vs front shock settings
Ah sorry for the misunderstanding. Viking says to do it when the car is being trailered, so we have been. Just thinking out loud. If that sets the shocks to maximum stiffness, or closer to 50/50 than 90/10, I wonder if that is to reduce the amount of bounce the car experiences going down the road i...

I would like to get a good double adjustable shock on the back I'm curious if it would be worth et, I've often thought it hits thr tire pretty hard.

Re: horsepower vs front shock settings
Just rebound and compression and on this particular valving each click is a noticeable difference. And I've thought about fade as the shocks get some age on them, I do back them off when the car goes in the trailer we don't race that much maybe 50 passes a a season

Re: Superflow vs jkm dual flow
Picked up almost 4 tenths and 7 mph prior best was 10.22 at 128.4. Last weekend went 9.83 at 135.5 I. Pretty happy with that gain. and for first time ever the mph shows to have more potential than the et suggest it actually feels like it's making some horsepower.
