Squat is no good in any drag car. Most drag cars tune in "anti squat" sometimes over 100% so as the car accelerates the back jacks up, in effect giving the car more weight on the wheels without increasing the car mass.
e.g.: So as the front wheels lift in the air 100% of weight is on the rear tires, then they jack up as well = effectively over 100% of the cars weight over the rear tires.
This can?t be done with IRS, I have read 25% is about the most that can practically be tuned in with IRS.
DAM, not bad for a little turbo like that then!. Might explain why it feels like its dead in the top end. If all goes well ill have a bigger turbo on it within about 2 weeks. Then will go back for another tune.. Just have to find a place good with Autronic in melb.

Yeah man, you can feel the turbo is running at like 110% and has been doing so for a few years now...haha.
Definately died in the arse 5500ish when I owned it.
Speak to CLuTZ about Autronic tuners in your area, he had a few bad experiences before sorting it out.
Also RJhugg off evooz.net is a gun tuner and probably knows his way around them. He's in your area too.

I know a dood with a ltd drag car with a 428 big block in it who has a "lift kit" in it so that the arse squats to put weight on back wheels for traction.
I think thats for weight transfer rather than squat. the weight transfer does however couse squat.
its a "lift kit" not a squat kit
i am certainly no expert on suspention setups.
but from what i can remember from the books i have read on the subject i assume this is probly the lift kits purpose?
