chevelle drag tune

[Jamess6977]

I keep getting smoked by other chevelles. If someone wants to help guide me a little bit that would be awesome.

start off in second gear, flip your transuse resto ticket n break it all the way in

Focus on: Powerband, Shift Points, and Short Shifting.
If you still have questions, please ask.
If you keep getting smoked, feel free to add me* I'd be glad to help you out the best I can.

I use 1st gear start. Don't flip tranny completely, but enough to stretch 1st gear so that you start 1st and shift to 2nd quickly, around 25 mph.

To do this: reset tranny. shorten final gear (move to right). move top speed to minimum. lengthen final gear (move to left). Work this process until you are getting off the line quickly - try to get 0-60 to 2.6's.

Once you are getting off the line, work remaining gears to stay in peak power zone on shifts.

Also:

Suspension: Min front height, max rear height. Max +toe on rear, some -toe on front.

^^Suspension is wrong witht that type of transmission

Thank you slashfan. Would you mind sending some tips my way. I'm getting 9.89's to 9.90's with that setup. Would love to go faster.

Depends if it's offline setup or for online. I haven't ran online since update, so I dont know how much the physics really changed, but offline liked max front height, -1.00 front toe and ~ +.75 rear toe.

^^^^Yeah max front height was optimal. I did notice over the last 2 years that some transmission setups don't mix with some types of suspension setups. Usually the transmission is the problem.


Shake, in a nutshell, online physics have been mostly converted to offline physics (you can roll cars online now etc). For the most part, they are identical. Not exactly the same, but eons closer than before with the 2 different physics models.

Yah. Also the suspension also matters based on trans. Different suspension for if you quick shift or something.

That's why I do the transmission first, because then you can work your suspension around the way you tune.
