yeah car is making the power, but after seeing the pic then the vids....i guess were fight the same as the IRS cobras..... too much camber movement during launch your only using 1/2 ur tire... not to mention the energy loss with the weight transfer...
maybe a ratchet strap suspension mod????lol.....
The question is do we set the camber to 0* and toe to 0" at rest or when the front lifts?
you mean something along these lines????
^^^^ THIS ... needs to be fixed

Nice runs, JT. I would say try the 600lb springs, but some say being TOO stiff in the rear with an MTX car can be a problem too.
You can always try airbags inside the rear springs. That way you have some adjustment to play with.

Have you tried an ET calculator? Might be closer as your mph is low, prob from your undergearing. Makes it look like your going faster on less hp.
Interestingly enough, Steves mph calculator seems pretty darn tootin!
We ran a Daytona about 8 years ago that I figured had to be just over 300whp. It was 2980 + 160 (driver) for a total of 3140lbs. It went 13.1 @ 108mph on street tires with a 2.1 60'. When I plug in the #'s it gives me 308.7 WHP. Seems pretty reasonable.
Here's where it really gets interesting. If I plug in the #'s from my 10.89 run at 142mph it only shows me at 466.65WHP. But if I plug in the #'s from my 136mph passes from last year it shows me at 507.5WHP!
Now here's the interesting part. When I was running last year I didn't drop the exhaust and I didn't drain the tank, but it was a calm day, so the extra weight + accurate mph (no headwind) and it seems pretty darn close!
The 10.89 run this year was against a 30mph headwind (prob knocked 1-2mph of my traps) I was running 2 extra psi fuel preasure and 1lb less boost because I didn't have a W/B anymore. I also dropped the exhaust and drained the rear tank (try to make up for the headwind) So the car was lighter, richer, less boost and the headwind was robing me some mph, really no surprise then that it only shows 466.65WHP! Again, seems pretty accurate!

I'm only running 450lb springs in the back and as good as the Charger Might have looked launching in the 10.89 vid, (didn't squat much) I was spinning all the way through 1st and only a 1.81 60'.
So, gonna have to wait till I Really hook it up to see how things look.
That's where that Slowmo S#IT would come in real handy like!
