need help with whole program. i am a single man crew driver etc. its just me so i need help with minimizing the bullcrap guessing and work at shop and track. i am running at county line raceway in nc. have a 2006 black front end car 2''. i have not been on track yet still in prep mode but im very close. car must weigh 2300 steel head motor. have to run american racer 12 48 or 56. i have a rocket manual and have followed it closely but looking for hands on experience on where to start with setup. i am on a limited budget. this is my inventory experienced guys tell me where to put what i have. also i crash alot or i used to anyway so buying the 1500$ shocks is not gonna happen. its not always my fault by the way. i have in shocks afco std m2 shocks valving in 139... 4.5, 3-5,4-0,4,5-3,0dummy,5-3, 5,5,5 so 8 of those for rear. have 137...5-3,3-5,3-7,5-3,5,and6 so 6 of those for front. springs i have are as follows 14'' 175,175,200,200,225,275,and300 12'' 375,400,425,475,500 10'' 300,350,375,550
so what im looking for is packages to run using what i have and suggestions on what to buy. i dont want to buy things twice because i got the wrong thing. it would be great to have a real world steel headed rocket chassis scale numbers with std stuff for me to compare to. also what should i change from hot laps to qualify to race on any given track hopefully one like mine? also i have some lower control arms that have drop shock mount and some dont. is it ok to run half year on one then switch?? is that a big change? i also have many j bars from 18 to 23 should i start with std? basically looking for someones entire setup especially the scale weights that you race with every weekend and % thanks in advance.
