Whats the deal on suspension?

I don't see it with those tires and gears. How much power are you putting down?

Only suspension is the lcas, im afraid of gears (shreading teeth), power is low...about 315 rwhp 325 rwtq. Any suggestions besides is the ta worth it? Im thinking front shocks and springs. what do you think?


Thanks,

I think you need horsepower, gears shocks, and a bunch of other stuff.

315 h.p. I don't think you will see 1.6

More converter might help but as stated more gear would too.

Are you spinning at all??

it does not feel like im spinning. Im leaving the line pretty hard, I mean I am cutting 1.75 60'.

My primary goal is to 12.0 all-motor; I thought I could do this by dropping the 60'. But I really dont want to raise the gear, bc i am afraid that when I spray it, that I will shread the teeth on the gear.

I was thinking maybe the front suspension but I dont really know how much that will help.

If you are not spinning nothing that you do to the suspension will help. Suspension work is to get the car to weight transfer and hook to improve traction.
Now if it's spinning then it's time for some suspension work.
