Cal trac /mono leaf results

Here is an email I sent to my buddy in Australia, with more detailed info:

1st test and tune,and the car worked perfect, does 8-12" wheelies (I was told, haven't seen pics yet) carrying them straight out just like the Duster did. I left full on the converter @ 5500 RPM's.Some how with wiring in the new shifter control, I missed the trigger wire for the rev limiter, so the starting line chip wasn't working.Oh well it likes it, because of the 'glide.
It ran a 11:07 then a 11:08. that would be 10:67-10:72 @ sea level. It had a better 60' time (1.555), then when it ran 10:86 @ Seattle last year (1.562).And the 11.07 which was the fastest it ever ran at King of the Hill last fall at Spokane's 4000' alt.(1.606) , remember,that's when I runnered up because I broke out more on a double break out(Iam Queen of the hill!),
Also, the car is more safe. When you let off at the finish line, it is way more stable. Which will be better for Tammy when she drives it later this year.
They told me, the new front shocks let it settle down better when braking.I was crossing at 6600-6700 RPM's with the new 4:57 ford diff. and gears.Sure is nice letting go of the trans brake button, and not worring about the diff.
I also started out by adding 0.20 in the delay box, and was still .005 red 1st pass, so I put another 0.20 in, and was .028, so that would have been .008. The delay should be at about 1.050-1.060 now, compared to 1.020 all of last year,which shows me the car is reacting much better.I was hitting the tree soft too (slower which is the way I like to hit it).
I thought I lost 2 MPH @ the finish line, but I didn't when I looked back at my past numbers for Spokane.
Only change for next week, is setting the electric shifter @ 2.50 seconds, instead of 3.00.I think it was O.K. but maybe a little shorter would be better.It most likely won't make a difference.

2 questions answered:
1st I still fell strongly about adjustable snubbers, they have worked great for years on all of my cars, but I know many disagree.
2nd Rear shocks were set at # 3 which cal trac suggested, I ran 12 lbs of tire pressue, and the front cal trac shocks do not adjust. I set the bars in the top hole, with 1/6th clearance.
I only took 2 hits, due to time dealys, next week is the 1st Summit series race, so no extra time for messing with it. It seems to be spot on consistant,as it was last year so I am good.
There were no other changes with engine trans, other then servicing it, and adding an electric shifter.
When someone puts pictures up, or we get some next week, I'll post them. The car is totally different, lower and new wheels.
Speaking of tires, I had no rubs, except the R/R on the inside a tiny bit, but not cutting.I pulled everything in an extra 1/4" when I put the narrowed 9" in,so now it doesn't rub on the outside like it did last year.Mission accopmlished!It was tuff getting 13" wide slicks in a mini tub.
