I forgot you're coilovers, but just wanted a reference point. I was told most people that get dbl. adj. never tweak it thru all possible combinations, but just settle on a few they like. All in all, they're 576 possibilities, far more than most need to confuse themselves. I think I'll eventually get some single adj. for front when budget allows. Last time at track, they were just as I run on street. I plan to experiment on future trips to track.
I can still learn, even if you're way-y-y faster.

But you're on a slick too.
i'm set at 6 on the QA1's i tried up to 8 which didnt seem to work as well and anything below 5 i would slip off launch, i really didnt get many runs in, but i got enough to make adjustments where needed, i found the sweet spot on the shift points and the lock up which made nice differences, the QA1's are single adjustable.

Gotcha. I run mine on 4 on "C" side, 4 on "R". It's a decent ride w/. my 2/4 drop, handles well on these settings. I might add w/. 70k on front shocks, but even tho they're probably fine, they'll be replaced. I have some BellTech Streets NIB for the fronts I've yet to put on. Belltechs will see winter use, as I don't run my QA1s in winter. If I lived where it was warmer, I wouldn't have that concern.

Anyway, when u set yours on 6, that's on a slick, right? What about just on the street, do u change tire & shock setting?

i set them to 3 for daily use, i change them just before putting it back on the trailer. the ride feels alot better not so stift.

i've talked to steve at madman racing in baton rouge, i was thinking of front coil overs, and they said they would luv to look at my truck as they yet to do one, but it was also mentioned they would probably have to redo the front lower/upper control arms. which i am not determinded to spend that kind of money just yet

they actually thought it would be pretty easy since they did a tbss doing a 1.2x 60 ft but i told them we are talking about 2 different vechicles lol

yea i didn't think he was going to run faster then my PB considering he said he was using 26" drag radials.. And after i put that big cam in there it definitely made it idle worse, but i just stay on the gas a little after doing the burnout.
