Smile tested new suspension setup last night

gotta say i am very pleased with it, but still have some adjusting to do to figure out wheres the sweet spot.

made 4 passes at evadale

1 run = 12.10 didnt change anything 1.68 60 ft

2 run = 12.09 same as above 1.72 60 ft

then we had a very long waite cause of the true 10 sec event going on

3 run = 12.09 adjusted the QA1's 1.68 60 ft

4 run = 12.08 adjusted the QA1's some more 1.67 60 ft

temps were 70 degrees 80% humdity 8 mph head wind

figuring the sweet spot at the tree helps i was reving as high as i could (2100) pushing through the brakes, on the 2nd run which was the worse 60 ft then after i only reved to 1500 rpms and netted better 60's.

theres plenty adjustments, which jon told me i had to mess with them and test and see where the sweet spot is, overall not only did i have fun but am very pleased so far with the outcome.

good deal. I didn't like them for the street but they're more than capable for fine tuning weight transfer.

congrats skeet!
hope you get it tweaked out and your motor can cut better 60's when it's cooler.
on motor between hot and cold for me is 1.73-1.65.

i hope so, i got the LSXr intake going on after next weekend, i would do it before then but got a busy week ahead of me. hoping to cut 1.6x's consistantly even on the hottest day. basically be a true 11 sec truck thats daily driven, or driven most of the time. i should be ready to spray at the end of year
