I know this horse had been beat past death and have searched and read for days but about everything I find is for camaro or car with screw jacks. We cant run screw jacks and have to run stock location front shocks 8" tires goodyears G65 now car has to weigh 3300lbs and is usually heavier by as much as 50lbs cause the scales vary. track is 3/8 mile with decent banking but bad ruff some nights.
what I have is something like this - Approx 175lbs of lead on each side in trunk.
LF - 900 7/3 shock - tire 13psi__________RF - 1000 3/7 shock - tire 15 non beadlock
LR -200 1030shock - tire 12psi__________RR - 150 6 shock - tire 14 beadlock
Car is bad loose of and maybe a lil in center new to driving and learning as i go we where running 3" or stagger and car was horrible we moved some tires around to gain 0 stagger and it got better. Car has been on scales cause we have never been able to catch someone that has time when we do.

Now I was think from my 4mnet reading that I may want to
-Try swapping front springs around
-Buy a 225 for lr and move 200 to RR
-Basically 4 new shocks cause all are WELL WORN and dented leaking etc- was thinking front should be around 6 and rear around 4 valving?

Thanks for any advice or positive input I am racing on change right now so I am looking only buy what I have to right now but want to run better.

For rough track run light springs 3300lb car your cross weight
should be less than your rear weight percent.
The stiff springs just skip like stones across water.
air pressure try running 20 psi in right front and 18 right rear hold the tire up run less than 1" stagger
900 lf 800 rf your weight across nose should be your front springs added 2 gether aprox.

move the lead over to the right rear and high in chassis

weight transfer

Put the 200 on rr and buy a 225 for lr. Buy a 4 shock for the rr.
The 150 is too soft for 3300 lbs.
