you cant buy skill.

you could buy "the best of the best", not have a clue on setting it all up, and proceed to do nothing with it.

ok.... have youever driven "a very powerful drag car" lately? just curious..

Because if you have to come on HT and ask what kind of setup is needed, that doesnt say much... just being honest

and second of all....... you NEVER even mentioned a single WORD of suspension in your first post. All you said is you want help on a "total setup"...Just u dont want to spin tires (good luck V8 boy)..

And then tell people to "shut up and help you"; when your post is totally unclear in the first place.....


BTW, i got your "total setup" right here bro....
