I HAVE AN 89 MUSTANG WITH A 347 IN IT HOOKED UP TO TH400. ALL NEW UPR SUSPENSION INCLUDING ANTI ROLL BAR, UPPER/LOWER ADJ. CONTROL ARMS, TORQUE BOXES ARE WELDED. PROBLEM IS I GET ON THE TRANS BRAKE AND LET IT LOOSE AND IT SMOKES THE TIRES BAD! I AM NOT A GENIUS ON SUSPENSION ADJUSTING. NEED ADVISE ON WHAT I CAN DO TO IMPROVE TIMES. TIRES ARE 27.5X10.5 PRESSURE AT 18LBS THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR SUGGESTIONS NATE
 
Who installed and set up the suspension? what's the pinion angle at?
do you have a good guess at the weight of the car?

need to know a few things befor I can help!
 
Street Legal Motorsports set up the suspension. They are going to adjust it hopefully Weddnesday at tnt at milan, but i was hoping to gegt it better for this weekend for the time being. I believe the pinion angle is at stock level. weght of the car is probably around 3000lbs(guessing). thanks for your help

Just to set the record straight Street Legal Motorsports did not install the suspension on Nate's car. Nate did buy the suspension parts from Street Legal but I did not install or adjust anything on this car.

I was out of town on business and I let Nate and a few of his friends use my personal garage to install the suspension kit.

You can’t just pull out onto a dusty road, bring your car up on the brake and expect the car to hook. Take it to the track, lower the tire pressure, make a few passes then you can start making adjustments.

Dave to your point on pinion angle, I asked the same question when Nate called me about his hooking problem. They never checked the pinion angle so that’s not a question that he can answer at this point.

Best Regards,

Shawn
