Muscle Cars

[edsel62]

I currently have over 50 classic US Muscle Cars and don't know how to drag tune any of them...can I have some help?!?
I really would like to figure out how to drag tune these things so please post what ever tune you have for one here.

Base Suspension:
Height: min/max OR max/max (it depends, you have to try both)
Rates: min/max
Dampers&ARB:These do not have a factor in drag racing
Camber: 4.5/0
Toe: -1.00/0.80

Transmission:
Depends on where the engine is making its peak horsepower and peak torque. But read this, and go from there.

You may find some base tunes for the cars that you need them for, here.

Dampers actually do play a roll in most of the cars. It's not a big difference but that .001-.002 off your times helps. It worked for my Chevelle and Cuda. Including my Enzo and ACR and almost every AWD cars 👍

I used to believe it at first, then everyone told me they don't do anything. Maybe they do but I'd double check, since you don't always get perfect shifts.

Yeah, I've seen small differences too with dampers, usually when there's a 10 in the wrong spot it gets slower, I usually set everything to 1 now before I even start tuning and only tweak toe and ride heights. Im just getting lazy I guess...but oh well :-/

Thanks for the suspension setup.
But I went to the first link, read it, and to be honest, it didn't make much sense. Can you explain it a little bit better?

Honestly it really can't be explained any better, that's about as fool proof and dumbed down as it can get.

Funny, because it makes no sense at all to me :/
I guess I'll read it again, but for me, I don't feel as if it really told you how to tune your transmission, which is what I'm asking help on.
