you might blow a gasket
only use high octane when turboing
What is the optimal rear suspension setup for drag racing a turbo car. What kind of spring do I want? What kind of camber/toe/caster?
I rolled my fenders this weekend and installed the TC Kline rear height adjusters ontop of H&R sport springs.
I added 1'' on each side and there is no more rubbing with the 235x60x15 ET Streets.
What kind of setup do I need to get these tires to hook?

Get a pal to video your car on hard launch. The end result you want when your suspension is optimal is that the rear tires are at zero camber at the hit. This will require a lot of suspension tweaking.
Hint: if your rears are at negative camber at stand still, you're not going to be neutral on the launch.

Kenny, were should the launch rpm's on the two-step be? Or, what would you recommend as a starting point?
Also, do you have your two step activated by your line locker?
One more, do you have the antilag comming on with the two step?

Reviving this thread to say thank you for the awesome write up.
Additionally, it looks like the 3743R are no longer available, but MT came out with a new version 3470. Seems to be pretty much same sizes all around.
