The truth about caltracs

For the original poster, here is what worked on my car:

Bottom hole, 1 flat preload driver side, 2 flats preload passenger side.
Rear shocks set on 6.

I have a sneaking suspicion that this might change this fall, but as of right now, my car is still slightly faster on bone stock springs (1.49 60'). The one thing that the caltracs did do for my car was make it consistent when the track was crap, and make the launch level (no more twisting launch with 1 tire in the air).

Get your front end loose as you can, drop any extra weight off the front that you can (move battery to truck, remove font bumper, glass hood, etc), and get the nose low. These are the things that really helped my car get good weight transfer before adding the Caltracks.

I have been tuning my Caltracks for over a year, and I have not given up on them yet. I footbrake, current 60' times are usually low 1.50's (1.53-1.52). Last year in the fall I got one 1.49x 60', just a few thousandths slower than my best on stock springs...but I used to have 1.49-1.50 60' times on a regular basis on my stock springs.....Anyway, I should know later this month if my recent findings of transmission issues have any pay off with a quicker ET and 60'. I have 2 more races in my "slow" setup, then I'm switching it back to going fast....long story. :D
