Right now im using a straight 4 valve rr shock...my car is a little tight on throttle...im thinking bout trying to take some rebound outta the rr shock to help...anyone ever done this and what effect did it have

Wouldn't that make it worse?

No, it would let the rr start getting up on the bars a little quicker, so it would free the car up some. How are you on entry? You tried moving the right upper bar up a hole?

It can work, but you are not that stiff on rebound. I would probably look elsewhere.

Car is good on entry and even rotates good in the center...our track is really funny shaped...its a big D and car just needs to turn better on throttle off 4...i have tried raising the rr upper bar and lowering it...too high made entry loose to low made entry tight...neither seemed to help rr drive on throttle much

That's odd, that's backwards of what the right upper bar should do.

Try a stiffer RR spring , or a softer LR spring . Another thing would be an inch more stagger in back. Lengthen RR bars one turn, although this will loosen you up everywhere. Try any one of these , not all of them.

stiffen the pullbar and or move the pull bar to the right.

If you have good Forward bite, you don't wanna lose that you just want to still be able to turn I'd add some turns to your RR Rod(s) or maybe look at not change the hole on the frame but look and see if you can change your thrust able by moving the bar on the frame and the rear end. Or put rebound in your fronts or RF shock
