I have heard about a running a traction shock and putting a 100 or 150# spring and it along with your lrb shock and spring combination. They are having success with this but can not get any feed back from them about it. Jw if anyone knew anything about it.

A couple of guys tried it around here on Pierce cars. I do believe they went back to the regular way after a few races. Im not sure if it didnt work because we run IMCA spec lates with low HP or if it just didnt work in general because of other factors.

I assume you are running this on a clamp bracket? It wouldn't make a lot of sense to me otherwise.Modern Day Spec Wedge Racing

I have thought about it with a clamp as well. Do not see much help from the regular set up unless you had it preloaded at full extension, then it would only slow drop on unloading.Originally posted by MasterSbilt_Racer View PostI assume you are running this on a clamp bracket?

we run an afco gas shock w/ shrader valve on the front side of the birdcage, not clamped up, with 175psi and its awesome traction!

Most handling problems can be solved by adjusting the screw-ball. It can be difficult to fine tune at times. Explaining yourself loudly and striking it on top of the helmet with a dead blow hammer usually works well.

I've learned, well at least for me, a traction shock makes the car looser or more free, mainly on entry.

If it is like most traction shocks that are compression adjustable, take some compression out of the traction shock to tighten entry. It will actually make the car a little looser because of the large amount of compression. As the car sits down when you get off the gas it will instantaneously load the LR instead of the RR for side bite.
Taking a little compression out will load the right rear a little quicker and give a little more side bite.
It all ends up being a balance between the tires and how you drive the car. What some people really like others will hate.
