I ran 11.8's on stock shocks and caltracs... But I was spinning and hopping all over to a 1.76 60' I now have qa1's and 3 inch drop shackels with a decent track prep I expect low 1.6 60's

talk to "the funk" about his setup. he street drives his truck still a lot but his 1.49 60' times are no joke. shit leaves hard!!!!

IIRC he runs qa1's on all 4 corners, caltracs, drop shackles, and M&H Cheater Slick's truck has next to no weight transfer its a thing of beauty :D

it really is amazing for a street truck. last time I drove it it was pretty stupid and then he found out the waste gate was partially stuck open lol. Ever since the TC issue though his trans has made me wanna shoot myself :(

hmmmm well i can't find any. I know he has go pro vids and it's been video'd but i can't find them on there. It's not a 1K rwhp truck yet but the suspension just works sooooo damn good it's beautiful.

Obviously sleeves and braces. Lower torsion bars. QA1 or Rancho adjustable shocks on front, stock shocks on back. Clamp front of rear springs or Caltracs. 265-size tires.
I could get low 1.6s out of that setup. I feel with more practice on the drag radials I can get into the 1.5s.
