Thanks for all the input !!! I am running a Aluminum flywheel for the reasons mentioned. I think It will take a talented foot on the clutch to get a good 60 on these tires like the Dude said they don't take to shock very well. I was trying to easy off the clutch last time and I was getting better 1.89 to 1.95 but I was bogging the engine really bad mostly making it pull from about 1000 rpm. I think Ive got to slip the clutch more keep the R's up 2500-3000 but slip it enough to be on the verge of spinning but not blow the tires off. I am curious about a different softer spring though. That sounds like a good thing and Adjustable shocks yeah thats a good Idea to. I don't plan to make a handeling pig out of it but I will sacrific some for better 1/4s. I don't expect the car to get 1.5 or really 1.6 60 fts on the DRs but I hope I can at least get 1.7's That should be enough to get it in the high elevens as it seems to pull down track pretty well. What I need is to be rich and have two cars that look alike but one set-up for drag use the other for autocross. I'm not rich so I guess I'll just have to make do with this one. So Dude on the caltrac bars do you think more or less preload would help should I start at none and loosen or tighten or is it flip a coin.
