Did you win or did I win the night we almost called Primos too have them make a new deer call? hahahahahaha

[altered5103]

Don't remember, that may have been the night you and your dad won.

[mallinckrodtracing]

Yeah, I remember when we both won the same night; super pro for him, pro for me. Made MAR history that night!!!

stil didnt get no answer on here how to adjust my ladder bars,do i need to take it to haas or bickel to check it

[dennismopar73]

on my bars i used mid hole to start with level or 0 degree on bar
with 0 preload with driver in the seat,
we did put 2 degree built into the chassie on rear
these are on a 36 bar doesnt matter
this is a start
havent had car out yet
but several guys that run with that is the start point
and after that go down on bars for more 'hit' (adjust for pinion angle)
and up take 'hit' away
think the end result you will look for somewher e at 2 degrees bar with driver
3- 5 degrees or pinion
as for preload havent any as yet most of us dont have little to any ,, but as
for you'rs hard to say on preload

[hemiman4262003]

thanks dennis,ill have to get the car leveled out on the floor then check my pinion angle,so going down will be more hit or more pinion angle

[slingshot383]

If you change a ladder bar set-up from any of the front hole locations, you have to reset pinion angle to the 2-4 degree nose down. Changing the front hole location changes your instant center, which changes the hit.

[hemiman4262003]

yea thats why i need help with this,im sure its ok now,i know my convertor might be wrong,but still need to know if my set up is right in the rear

I go with 1.5 to 2 degrees on the pinion angle and always try to get my instant center as close to level on the pinion as I can. Makes the car leave much less violent than putting it up higher. Always use your right ladder bar to set pinion angle and use your left one to adjust pre load, and always go with nuetral pre load if possible will make the car drive straight and leave square

Convertor, I think. . . . should be higher stall. .. . around 4200 - 4500.

You should always be a minimum of 200 - 400 rpms under the flash of the convertor, for a stage RPM's, to keep from balloning the convertor. Which you no doubt, could do very easily with that 440.

Also, if you're running 135mph, you should be in the high 9's. . ..
