Take 100lbs of bite out & swap the rear springs.

Rocket recommends 150 on bite and as the last poster said swap the rears

[4bangerhotrod]

you said you have 170lbs of bite but your #'s show 181lbs and thats way to much i would back it down an start with around 120-140lbs

I was wondering what swapping the shocks would do? When i was thumbing through the rocket book it has the lighter spring on the RR



right my math was off.

[jedclampit]

What engine, track configuration, year car,tire rule, black or blue?

[jrkracing54]

I have always ran a slightly stiffer spring in the left rear than the right rear. I have never tried it the other way. Closest I have been is equal in the back. Right now I have a 225 RR and 250 LR in an 03 black front car.

358 steel block engine, dr21 tires, 96 black front end said to be updated to a 01. has the 6 hole lower rod mounts

1/2 mile va motor speedway, wide corners

3/8 mile dixieland speedway, narrow tight track

[talclipse]

As others have said thats way too much wedge. With a limited motor as it sounds you are running you won't have the power to drive through an exit push. I would go down to ~100lbs wedge and as others have suggested swap the springs.

Wow, that's an classic car!

I don't have any experience with pre 2000 cars.

Something I would question is the condition of the chassis tubing, on the INSIDE.
I have cut up some old racecars, and the tubing was pretty badly corroded and deteriorated ,yet looked cherry on the outside.
