I have dumped 2 packs on the street just to make sure everything works and to adjust steering trim and minor stuff. I need a good starting set-up. I pretty much have the book set-up. The tracks I run range from loose to black groove and tight, technical to wide oper hammer down. Here is what I have now:
20t drive pullies both F and R
Camber -1 all around
Shock Oil 30 F and 25 R, 1.2mm pistons F and R
5k in both Diffs
Ride Hight 26mm F and 28mm R
Tekin RX8 with 4.5 550 motor
Gearing 13/62 (32P) Also have 12 and 14. Temps at 140-150 after about 8 minutes of street running ( mostly full speed with body on)
I got 3 full sets of tires JC Subcultures and DD's, and PL Calibers all on stock wheels.
I am running everything stock ( ie. no hop ups or option parts)
Sway bars are on order and will be added soon.
Anybody have any sugestions. Diffs or shock oils, ride hights, what ever?
I cant wait to run this thing on a track!
The truck is a blast to drive! I would run it the way you have it, and see how you like it. Im running almost stock setup and love it.
