ok as far as shocks go hal, strange, or afco? double or single?

i know ill proll need a 300 spring!

ta, long or short? i beleive short hitts harder so i might need it to help get off the line right?


my car is a lt1 385 with a 76mm frount mount, proll lookin in the 600-700 power range, the car is a m6 and has some weight off the front, no bumper support, no ps, no ac, tube k. i think my 330 will determine how it runs!

 

I'd opt for a chassis mounted adj. TA. That and the double adj. front shocks to start. But then again, what do I know? Why a 300lb. front spring?

 

i was always told if you are 3000+ run a 300 if your really light go with a 275

 

I've seen the Spohn chassis mount torque arm, ending at the front where the g-load brace normally mounts, put a 1,350HP 97 SS at the 1.30 60-ft mark, with virtually unlimited traction (obviously assisted by 29.5" slicks). I don't think anyone who makes the top-rated arms... Spohn, BMR, Madman.... varies the length. Madman does adjust the height of the front mount though.

Springs will be different front and rear.... the car mentioned above was running my stock Formula rear springs.

 

is this a street car that goes to the track or a track car that might see some street time?
The ultimate set up is the double adjustables on all 4 corners.
As for TA length, that is debatable till the cows come home, just pick a nice one that you like, the designs are all the same except the MadMan unit that has the adjustability of the front mount, but I think that is no a totally needed option, but that is my opinion.
I would be more than happy to help you out in any way I can.

 

Madman recommended that I run QA1 single adjustables up front and Afco dbl adjustables out back and get a Spohn or Wolfe rear roll bar. I'm already running a Spon chassis mount tq arm. Im just under 600 hp and Im spinning 28 x 11.5 hoosier qtp's.

 

let me know what you want.

 

Qa1 R-series up front with eibach drag launch springs, stock rear shocks and springs with a pro-series drag sway bar or run the drag springs out back with a 1" swaybar. The chassis mount ta is a winner too

 

I would run the front shocks as you say Rs and then run the 275# front springs. then the rear run stock springs and shocks with a Spohn Drag bar.
