good luck. i would guess each time you throw a lot more power at the launch, you may need to tighten that shock a little. dont take my advice as gospel. give the truck what it wants.

From what I can see, your really should just have them touching the leaf when you are up on the converter, and boost built. Sounds like a pain in the ***, and need to have someone ready to adjust the bar lol. Mine are angled up towards the front, and they are backed off like 4 full turns and cut a best of 1.54 60s. I figured by backing them off a bit I wouldn't be preloading the **** out of it when I stage.

Looks good, Right around 4-5 seconds it looks like you unload the tires and spin a little.

How long are you heating your tires up? Have you tried a little more time vs a little less time vs a dust off? What is your air pressure?
