The truth about caltracs

I had the SS 002/003, comp 3ways set to 50/50, qa1 drags up frt on the loosest ,race torsion bars and about 3in travel. I would 60ft 1.49-1.51 all day long anytime of year even with a 9.5 or a 8in convert. Everybody told me to get the caltracs so I did. I bought the springs,bars and stepped up to strange shocks. I did lower hole no pre to 1 full turn preload and tried upper hole as well and could only get 1.55 all day long. I redid the frt end got almost 6in travel and loosey goosey still the same. So far my best is 1.53 in upper hole zero pre shocks on 7. I have also messed with the carb to the point I went and bought a new one set up from Prosystems no change at all. Right now I think I should have stuck it out with the SS set up and did more tuning. The only thing I can think of is with the SS I might of had a little wheel spin to get the rpm up quicker and the caltracs it just a dead hook but I don't know .
