Hey fellas,
Finally got my 18 to the track (stupid covid) and it did... decent. Long story short the night prior I got everything dialed on pump/torco (using dragy) and then threw Sunoco 260gt plus for the track and the car was .5 slower 60-130, afr was out of wack with the highly oxygenated fuel and the car wasn’t happy. Won’t make that mistake again, but I wasn’t trying to break any records, just wanted to get the car shook down so the wife can track it.
Now for the issue at hand:
Suspension is all stock base gt with the exception of bmr cb005s. MT ET street S/S at 18psi cold, 305/45/17s.
Racked off consistent 1.74 60’s all day, loading the converter until the car pushed through the brakes and backing off till it held (around 1900-2000rpm). No wheel hop(car has never hopped), didn’t spin much off launch but was spinning a few feet out once it was in boost. Should I try flashing it and see if that’s better?
What should the first suspension mods be that will help my CURRENT setup? I know BMR suggested a whole gaggle of pieces, and they will probably eventually all be on the car. But for the time being, what do yall suggest I start with? Springs, vertical links, camber lockouts, It’s braces and toe rods are in my radar, but I’m not sure where to start.
Thanks in advance guys
