That suspension seems like it's causing most of the problems

[@cameronmclean4982]

do you know if he’s on a bias ply rear tire? i think that is playing into this issue too

[@shadowcrj6402]

Yeah deff the back is bouncing all over the place when he launches it, no point in trying to launch it

[@tropg]

That along with the rear subframe bushings, don’t remember if he upgraded them but they have way to much play and tolerance front factory

[@Jim_Briggs]

I think this car could benefit from a solid rear axle swap if he's going to be using it for straight line stuff

[@iSmell_Butthurt]

@@Jim_Briggs Not needed, the irs has been 6s which is way faster than this car will ever go most likely. It does need some shocks, subframe bracing, bushings, etc.

[@ndk2k4]

Man that suspension is really holding you back

[@AJUSA1]

Needs a steeda stop the hop kit

[@TranceFur]

@AJUSA1 Wheel hop ain’t the issue, he just has no damping in the rear because the MagneRide system isn’t operating correctly.

[@DxCBuG]

@@AJUSA1 i think it needs the chassis control fixed so the magenetic dampers work again. He explained they're broken right now and basically do their own thing.

[@AJUSA1]

​@@TranceFur The IRS likes to dance so you need damping control to get into the nines leaving on a 2 step. He should probably swap those malfunctioning shocks out entirely anyway even if they aren't completely broken and then he still should get the stop the hop kit... ALL the fast Gen 2s have that done. Possibly needs axles and driveshaft as well but he's on an odd motor and trans setup so it's hard to say on that. He should also be on a bias ply tire like a hoosier quicktime pro... specifically Hoosier 17604QTP Quick Time Pro DOT Tire Size: 28X11.50-17LT QTPRO works well for manual boosted coyotes to get into the 9s... stick cars struggle on radials. But yeah, if his shocks were somehow malfunctioning he could improve a bit just fixing them... but he still will gain more with the stop the hop kit and bias ply tires like the quick time pros.

[@UnhingedCanadian]

Dude the suspension is wild. I’ve never seen a car bounce like that.

[@Day1Mechanic]

dude this is exactly what i said. i have never seen a car move the way his did on a drag strip. it looked like a 96 ford explorer with all 4 shocks blown out going over some railroad tracks.

[@CoyoteFTW]

@@Day1Mechanicnot setup for drag strip … it’s a GT350. Comprendo ?

[@TakeNoShift]

What a lot of people often overlook in drag racing is suspension. Suspension is VERY important when it comes to your launch. It needs more compression damping so it's not bottoming out and some rebound so it's not bouncing out like it is. Give 'ol Jackstand a call, he'll tell you what you need to know.

[@nathanbell7571]

Man now its time to get with Cleetus and figure the launch out more and this thing will be an absolute rocket down the line 😅

[@nathanbell7571]

@erikkhyndman9184 naw I mean Cleetus... Correct the whole FF team is what makes the dream work, but Cleetus is the one signing everything and that owns the track to be able to have him back down. Hands down get Zach on it and James and get Cleetus for the actual driver tips and its a dream.

[@jorgefelix8251]

Yesss barra sick engine🔥🔥

[@rukiddin0669]

I think you nailed it with the suspension being the problem. Look at the difference in stance between your car and the GT500 at 18:47 and the rest of that run. Your car bounces every shift, and while part of that is likely the fact that yours is not a DCT, it has GOT to be causing some of your traction problems at launch and on the street. BC coils? Fixing Mag? who knows, but I suspect that might get you more time than pushing power into it at this point.

[@Binford2500]

Yes. 100%.

[@joecosta3416]

I think fixing the mag suspension would be very cool

[@cumbob]

Looks like the mag defaulted super soft

[@pjakich926]

Adams face from 4:34 to 4:40 was literally like “WTF have I done”

[@marklamberton541]

The barra is a bloody good motor, even more so when they've been worked. I've tried explaining to people how the power feels much different to other tuned cars, almost like you're going into a warp speed. Once I took then for a ride in it only then they understood what I mean. Very good torque

Love the Barra ! Out of the hole is one of the Barra's strengths, once that's dialled you'll be on the way to 9's.

[@Laminur]

Your suspension is unloading the rear after the initial weight transfer, looking forward to seeing you develop it.

[@jay1968.]

Yep, front end needs to be slowed down at launch and it would help alot

[@Latezen]

@@jay1968. slowing front end down wont do much when the rear end is a bouncy castle

[@jay1968.]

@Latezen the rear is a bouncy castle because the front is coming up so fast making the rear off load. Both ends need work but the front is coming up way to fast.

[@Latezen]

@@jay1968. Sure i agree that the front end is coming up too fast but it doesnt fix the main problem that is the mag drive or whatever this had that is in some weird setup state. How the rear end is currently making front end come up slower wont improve the overall suspension setup for dragstrip that much.

[@transient442]

@@jay1968. the rear is pulling the front end up because of how soft the rear suspension is. The front end is just reacting to the rear end

[@JonahSRT]

Definitely would like to see you work with James/Cleetus on getting the suspension + short track figured out. Having the drag racing content sprinkled in is super fun and cool to see you getting deeper into another Motorsport.

Adam you have to take it to THIS VS THAT with the HOONIGANS to do a drag race. Would love to see it.

The BarraStang is a straight monster but I think the next step needs to be a 4 Link rear end. That will help with traction and be able to almost have unlimited adjustability on your suspension.

[@michaelfercik3691]

After watching all of the launches, your stock suspension needs one thing, which is lower gears in the rear end to match the transmission first gear ratio. You have plenty of top end speed, and believe it or not, the 60 footers, and ET will dramatically drop while your mph increases. Talk to a couple of the major rear end shops for calculating the best gear ratio. Maybe a 4:30
