dry slick

[charcoal01]

If you went from like 15 to 20 degrees in you'd probably need to stiffen 25 lbs.

what happens when you move the rr spring in at the top and bottom, the angle dont change i run a 225 rr spring and i moved it in last weekend but didnt getr to run long enough to see what it was going to do. the book says to do that with a 250.?

If I remember correctly, Rocket starting doing that so you could stiffen the spring 25#, keep the wheel rate the same, but loose some of the effect of the rod pressure in a gas shock. This was to help when gas shocks were relatively new on the scene and you couldn't go low with the gas pressure.

So are me and Dirt 69 wasting time. I moved mine in at top and bottom and stiffened 25#?

250lb driver - 55% left 53% rear

53% rear ain't gonna get the power down well in a superlate on a slick track, unless its a truelly a momentum track or you have a 12" wing.... and you'd still be lacking.

Not necessarily. That is a way to promote roll and give the car some more lateral grip.

Wow, that did not work for me. Moving that spring in and only going up 25# made it loose. Going to move it back out. Had a 250 RR with it out. Went up to a 275 and moved it in.

try it with out goin up in spring if your loose on gas then that is because of the stiff spring

Loose getting in off gas, Way bad loose.

You may have to take out some roll steer too in combination; it's gonna roll over more/easier with spring angled in, so you'll be into roll steer quicker which will loosen it.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

I misread your post. I thought you angled it, not moved both top and bottom.

Try 550lf 375rf, stack 200/400 lr 225rr with 90 pounds bite w/o driver in car 52.5 to 53.5 left side, 54.5 to 55.0 rear

I have 2006 blue Rocket, 550LF 375Rf 200LR 250RR 130lbs bite[/QUOTE]

I know in the slick you need a good balanced car. On a small 1/4 track on my Rocket I sometimes run a 600lb LF spring if we start near the front also add a little more drop from 13 1/4 to 13 1/2. Its a little erratic but being up front you got more track to use. I have also put like a plain 3 or 4 on the LRF seems to slow the birdcage enough to tighten up the car. The biggest thing I've found out is always try little stuff in the final hot laps if you unload with a good car.

Learn how to tune with tire temps! When its dry slick you have to think a bit more inline with a asphalt type set up.
