Latemodel Set-up....

Springs
Copper or Purple RF probably Purple for Coopers, Copper for dry/flat tracks
Red LF
With sway bar .063": Try Blue RF and Silver LF springs

Shocks
40wt, stock positions, most stood up position on GSX INT tower. Lengthen shocks .080-.100" from kit instructions.

Long wheelbase

Low roll holes on susp mounts, camber links on castor blocks, 15 deg blocks, .050" under front susp black for more kickup.

Lead LF forward versus RF by .060-.080. Do this by grinding some material off the LF castor block, add shims to slide the castor block forward.

Weight....all to rear, rec pack behind motor on extreme LR corner of chassis, 1 oz weight mounts off back of rear tower.

Rear: Outlaw 60 wt, middle or 2nd hole from inside on tower, stock camber link locations, 2 deg toe on LR, 1 deg toe on RR, low holes on bearing carrier, .050 under front of toe-block, bearing carrier in the middle.

4 pinks, front 4 slices, very narrow groove, rears 7 truer grooves, crosses every .225 apart.

Eldora, with extra 1/4" kickup from stock template on spoiler. Side Dam from rear of spoiler to 2 3/8" from front axle, 5" high from top of deck.

Amen

i didn.t see anything in there about ride height or frt camber?

I see the car is using the long wheelbase. If I use the Custom Works 3012 bumper, rubber tires will hit the bumper when turned. Is the best fix to trim down the bumper?

Just move the bumper out to the front set of holes in the chassis, that is where it should be if you are using the long wheel base.

Click on our website banner at the top of this page. Go to the support link at the top and when the support page opens you will find Arnies winning setup sheet under the tech tips link for the 0917 Intimidator GSX. He has the ride height and camber angles on there along with everything else.

Hey Rob, your Latemodel was really hooked up for the Feb Freeze Race at Bumps & Jumps. Did you happen to record any setups from your car from that race? If so, could you please post them in the tech tips section on the C/W Site also? What would you recomend changing (if anything) to use the Rubber Street Trac Tires for the upcomming PA Nitro Tour Race at B & J? Thanks!
