  • firehawk take off springs/shocks= worse launches?

    If so, how bad, do you think it will be overly noticeable on my timeslips....? I'm not exactly hooking very well at the moment anyway so..

    you have to state also that your old springs were some spongy crap and the ride was very bouncy and weight transfer at the track was probably great.

      I just gteched with the same times before and after....I still deadhooked on the highway...launching from 1.5k or so, I don't think I'll see a huge different since I can't seem to hook at the track anyway :

        With 3.08s you probably won't notice a thing tractionwise.

            You will want to spin a lot with 3.73s. I think that the only solution for 3.73s would be drag radials. I can't keep my 3.42s from spinning even with really sticky street tires.
