Adjust. Panhard for lowered cars, LCAs if installing with relocation brackets. The relocation brackets are a key to the set up. You can then preload the car at the track. this is 1 key way to get the power to the ground.

Well I guess that might depend on the manufacturer. That would be kind of a generic set up. That way would be assuming that everything is in line and perfectly straight and even.

Jim, if you dont mind me asking what were you pulling for 60's and how were your ETs and traps?
try between 3000 - 3500 and slip the clutch till u get traction also dont just mash the gas to the floor...kinda ease into it and when it starts to hook then nail it. thats what i would do with street tires with the bfg dr's i would take it up to around 3500 and punch it last time i went to the track it was after a slick only night so it was sticky as all hell so it would rip off the line with no spin and then bog on me a bit but i was able to get 1.9 - 2.0 60 fts. which i wasnt happy with i wanted a 1.8...so i need practice as well.
if u want i dont have my car no more and my bald bfg dr's are just sitting in the garage u could give them a shot.

ive done that before on the street. i launched it hard but i kinda left the clutch out a bit, a few times i did it too much and smelled some clutch burn but it did give me a really nice launch.
