uphill drag racing ..need help with set up

[newfiem1100t]

Doing a race tomorrow night at a ski hill for autism, got a 12 m1100 t 162 with boon docker 2.0 kit mbrp turbo down pipe and can,cold air kit and boost tubes..
running at about 500ft above sea level ,sled has 2.6 track..should i set controller to about 195 hp for coming out of hole and set button to full 225 hp when racing, also wondering about rear suspension set up if i should tighten front shock to combat wheeling . Also is 225 hp the most i should run at low elevation without head studs for 660ft ..thanks any input would greatly be appreciated.

If it has torque limiter straps on the front of the skid, i would tighten them right up(also helps prevent wheelies) and loosen front shocks right off, so front end squats when stationary and soften the front skid shock as well, but keep the rear shock/spring adjustment at highest level. This will aid in launching. Otherwise, not sure about close to sea level, but i would set controller to the 195 for holeshot, then set butto to full 225hp like you suggested........ Hope that helps??

I have floats on front and rear, so drop the fronts down to 40-50 psi, and pump rear up to 150 and i will do the rest also..with strap and front shock

That should help..... Also if you can adjust your clutch engagement for higher rpms?

 

[newfiem1100t]

got a shockwave secondary adjuster on it and 90 gram weights on primary

That should help..... Also if you can adjust your clutch engagement for higher rpms?

 

[Summitric]
