nova set-up question (suggestions)

[Jeff Griffin]

Jim, what would you suggest in setting up a 69 nova trying to keep close to stock as possible,right now it is a mono leaf set-up with some traction bars, just seems stiff leaving i have c/e 3-ways on rear and lakewood 90/10's on the front. i run a 265/60/15 m/t radial tire.chris u. suggest i bring this to you,he says i can make this more efficent. any help would be appreciated.by the way beebe was in on setting the rear-end and tying in the frame(maybe thats why it's not working) LOL!!! THANX Jeff 8)

From the video on Beebee's web page, it looks like you should raise the launch rpm.

What mono leaf are you using?
What kind of traction bars are they?
What is your u-joint/pinion angle?

[Jeff Griffin]

Jim,they are the stock mono-leaf,as far as traction bars they are lakewood,i'd have to get back with you on the pinion ? matt beebe did it. :shock: Jeff

[79camaro]

pinon angle is
-6 deg

[Jeff Griffin]

anyone else c'mon 186 views, :smt015 tell me you set-up??

[Jim Filipowski]

So whats the car doing? Sounds like to much pinion angle to me...But depends on how much the springs wrap up. Hard to tune it on the computer need to see it.
