My Tvr ran a best last year of 11.1/129.9 with a 60ft of 1.8..
This year i have put throttle bodies on and at Shakeys a couple of weeks ago ran 11.3/133.42 with a 2.05 60ft on the 2nd run, then snapped a half shaft.
I am going again this weekend with tougher shafts.

Whats the best set up on the ride height and damping?
I was thinking of raising rear ride height and softening the damping for more weight transfer??

Tyres are Toyo 888 255/35-18, dont have drag slicks i am afraid!

I'd give Jon a call at Webster Race Engineer and have a chat about it.. What he doesn't know about chassis set up, from a drag racing perspective, isn't really worth knowing..

His website is here : http://www.webster-race-engineering.co.uk/index.ht...

also, have a nose at his baselining page.. http://www.webster-race-engineering.co.uk/baseline...
