500lf 400rf
225lr 225rr

55% left 55% rear 120 lbs bite

rr top@18 degrees
lr top @ 22-24 degrees
rr bottom 5 degrees
lr bottom 7-8 degrees

Shocks are not really a number deal anymore. Find a shock guy. RF should have at least 700# rebound at 6"/sec.

Ok thanks!

Are those bottom Bars running down or up.

Are those bottom Bars running down or up.

UP. I use negative for downhill.

What bout liftbar shock and spring? and what hole should it be in

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

300 to 350 depends on a lot of variables.

I would start 34 or 35 inches from the axle centerline. 3-7 old school twin tube shock or one of the newer "5th coil shocks"

That's what you would recommend for a wrs 55 also on slick?

ok so what if you run a motown block, and your driver is heavy and your car weighs 2480 driver in --
do you still run the same springs and lift bar spring ? on a dry hard slick track that takes no rubber on ?

[HuckleberryB4]

Run same springs (350 RF/225-250 RR) just decrease left side percentage and raise ballast weights.

[JJRT]

ok so if you dont have ballast weight in the car , to move ?

[HuckleberryB4]

You could relocate the battery. That's a big piece of existing weight that would help move percentages yet not change the overall weight. Same with fuel cell, you could move the fuel cell to right. You could also use taller clamps that'll help raise it as well. If you run a lot of fuel, you could reduce the amount you go out with and make it up with ballast weights you can move.
If you're motor plate has an upper set of holes, you can raise the motor. Just space under motor mounts too. They recommend this with a steel block.

If you can give me your email I can send you a set up sheet from mastersbilt or you can email raceone@mastersbilt.com and ask for it yourself. They usually answer the same day.
