If you promise to stay behind me I will share our set up with you.
Just kidding, In reality I have no idea what we run. Eli takes care of that.

I am just hoping we get all 4 wheels pointed in the same general direction after what happened to it at NHMS 2 weeks ago.
I have not raced at Limerock in like 4-5 years.

Dump the front sway bar.

Agreed!

Tim I may be wrong but you negleted to say that your diff is stock as well (AKA no quaffe or welds.. just an open diff) This plays a HUGE difference in setups as well I would think...

I bet you get a ton of wheel spin heading on to no-name straight! You may notice a bigger disadvantage at LR than NHMS :blink:

LF camber, 3.0, Rf camber 1.0,

RR ; toe ,0, camber1.0
No front bar.
Swap the springs, front to rear. Front ride alt, Lower control arms, pointed up .5 in. . rear, ride alt, as low as it can go.
