    Hi there.
    I have adjustable spindles on my altered and am looking at scaling my car with 4 corner scales to look at the weight set up of it. Can anyone give me any insight as to the set up as far as extra weight onto the right rear to help with the launch of the car, how extra weight would be ballpark etc, or if maybe I am on the wrong track all together.
    125" c/m altered, blown bbc, glide.

    Thanks.

    ballpark you would shoot for 40-50 lbs heavy on the rr corner, you would do that by moving the shims on the front spindles. moving shims on the left front from the top of the spindle to the bottom to lower that tire. that will jack weight to the rr

    We have run 50 pounds heavy on the left and the car went straight and you can get wheel speed this way also!
