Set the pinion angle.
Viking Crusader DA shocks front and rear
5+ inches of lift from ride height up front.

Saturday night there was an early Firebird at the street races that was hooking hard. Nitrous car with CalTracs and Strange DA shocks front and rear.

I don't have any experience with CalTracs, but I've seen plenty of cars hook as hard as anything on the street with them.
Yeah i spun my car around once. lol

So i guess getting DA rear shocks is an order.

You have ladder bars?

What do you set your pinion angle at?

Do you have stock upper and lower control arms ?

Looks like alot of people are impressed with your car ..I know i am . It gives me hope seeing that picture you posted..

Thanks for posting it...
