Just as the thread says. How can I get more forward drive out of my northern sport mod? I need to tighten exit just a little and get more drive off the corner. Thanks guys.

What recommendations for shocks?

A tie down on the RF will keep your LR loaded. That can offer extra traction off of the corner. Other than that, I will leave the rest to the experts.

Any one BUT Brian Gray. His quote "Most racers are scum bags" tells you all you need to know about him. He got a shock Dyno a month or so ago and now spends his time on 4M trying to sell shocks and services. List more information about your car and I am sure some guys on hear can help. Always ask guys you race with for help. Many will help you I am sure. While good shocks can help if you are missing in other areas it can also hurt your car.

What about more pull bar angle?

Is your entry good? If so, I would try adding 20-30 more pounds of bite. Adding more bite will typically loosen entry a little. Also i would try adding bite before buying shocks as adding bite doesn't cost anything! JMO.

Yes entry is good. I have 51.6 left 56.3 rear and 85lbs of bite. It enters decent. Shocks are qa1 3/5 rf 5/3 lf 5/3 lr and 4 rr

Are you looking to tighten exit or more traction? They are not the same. Do you want a big change or a little one?

Sorry. Should have said the extra bite will give you more drive off on top of loosening entry a little. As for tightening your exit "just a little" as you stated. Maybe a little more rear % or shorten r side wheel base 1/8 - 3/16 in. Only try one suggestion at a time so you know what works. JMO.
