Only a couple of weeks to go before Bakersfield and I have no idea what the car will run. I'm heading to Sears Point Wednesday night for my only shot at tuning before th big one and I was hoping for some Cal Tracs adjustment guidance from you all. I set the bars at one turn pre-load with me sitting in it. What I hope to get is recommendations on more or less pre-load depending on how the car reacts. Before I installed them, I was cutting .55 lights +/- a couple tenths leaving from idle and the car would squat an inch or two on launch. What can I expect now. Do I need more or less pre-load to get it to reduce the reaction time. How much more or less. I'm hoping for some help setting this up without me screwing it up. Thanks, Scott

Perfect starting point for new installation.
Less pre-load to soften reaction times.------------------
