few pics of the Granada I was contemplating a while back. its an asphalt car, add some castor/ camber plates and try it on the dry slick.....

They usually build asphalt cars with different geometry than dirt cars, so set ups may be a bit difficult on dirt, but with that being said, the class that this car appears to be built to run in may not have required different chassis geometry when it was built.

It doesn't look very heavy in the front which will help with rear% but I bet it has a ton of left% if it was built for asphalt.

was thinking 51% left, rear and cross to get started. wheel spacer on RF and tuck in RR hoping to aid in the push that im sure its going to have being a strut car. install castor/ camber plates to get camber a little more in the ballpark. , 1" stagger in the front and 2" rear on dryslick. currently have a built 351(good power), C4 and 9", will prob start off 640ish final gear on 3/8 high bank. shooting to even up front wheel weights and 100lbs bite in rear. would you keep the lead low or raise the weight???

If the track is heavy/tacky lower is better, vice versu for slick conditions.
