my local chassis builder who is also one of our tech inspectors gave me a small tip, he said to stiffen that *** end up spastic spec to get consistency and good launches out of irs , it worked for me, but i had no power and light weight 470hp/2100lb there is so many factors when you involve irs, seems to me that its different things for different styles so far, im not one way or the other on the subject

I will say when you watch the video that car doesnt bounce around at all. Back stays planted the entire pass. My car looks like a dam frog going down the track..

First pass 1.5 60 foot. Missing my other struts-springs. Going to lower tire pressure and get a better burn out

Second pass 1.5 and third 1.68. Never running these stiff springs- struts again! wasted night and $$ testing them. Car would not hook for crap! I believe iwould have had I new best if I would have stayed on my old set up.
