'm brake torquing off the line at about 2,500 RPM's.
I just have the stock snubber, I didn't know there was an adjustment. The ears that it mounts to the rear end with were bent when I got it, so I just beat them back to flat.
I have not payed any attention to it, maybe it's bent and doing me no good at all. I really don't understand what the snubber does. How about a quick explanation?
THANK YOU!
couple things here. because you are torquing up to 2500 rpm you are preloading the rear suspension and not allowing it to work. you are also negating some of the torque multiplication of the convertor. having said that this is the way some setups work best. have you tried leaving at an idle or lower rpm? the snubber is used to plant the tires as the rear end tries to rotate upwards on acceleration. you need to have some clearance between the snubber and the pad on the frame as the car sits at rest. start with an inch or 2 and adjust up or down until you find the best result. if yours isn't adjustable you can trim the rubber or add washers. best bet is an adjustable one. rear shock rates also affect how quickly the axle rotates to plant the tires. you need to be aware of the extension rate for shocks mounted behind the axle. All of these things work in relation to each other and need to be tested. I would buy some good shocks first and test all the other variables 1 at a time and asses there effect. if all of this confuses you there are many articles written with diagrams that will help you understand what is happening to your rear end when you drop the hammer. not always as easy as some think, and the quicker you go the more critical each piece becomes. good luck
