That's what I was thinking 1.3 in the middle seems pretty safe. Just have to make sure my trim is perfect and she tracks straight. But under power they can be a handful. I don't exactly have a great speed run road yet and I think you have the same issue Dan. I wasn't bless with a runway or a road with no traffic living 25 minutes from NYC.Thanks for your input.I set mine up at 1.3 but I haven’t run it yet. My thought was I’d still get a little help with straight line stability without going to the theoretically fastest setting of 0°.
Right on, man. I think I finally found a stretch of road, but I’ll be fighting two issues. The first is that it’s a pretty busy 2-lane road (State Route 5) so I’ll almost certainly be running in the middle of the night with a spotter to avoid traffic. The second issue is my wife’s stance on this, who very strongly disagrees with running on a public roadway. So she mos def will not be my spotter.That's what I was thinking 1.3 in the middle seems pretty safe. Just have to make sure my trim is perfect and she tracks straight.

You’re right. I’m a baby about it. How fast was your pass?May go 2.0 till I feel more confident with my ride. Running an rc at 70+ is something I thought I would never being doing since running back in the 80's but running over 140 holy sh#t so that's why every thing has to be perfect and take the time to get your car right. I've been out 20+ times to do a speed run and only made 1 full pass, it's just has to be right.
Yup. I watch some of our resident rockstar speed runners here and am always amazed how calm they are, sometimes even dodging traffic on roads. I am not/would not be that calm. It’s a stressful nail biter for me, and I haven’t even quite broken 100 yet. Not that it isn’t super fun and a great rush, but I definitely have a large dose of stress in the mix.My 1 full pass was 143 mph with a 25t pinion then I had 1 sloppy out of control pass I bailed on was 144 mph with a 27t pinion, but my speed run road is not that wide and there's a traffic issue. Very stressful and I feel like I'm being rushed, just a recipe for disaster. To much money in the car to be messing around and that's before I scorched it out, now I have to be real careful.
I think it depends how fast you want to go. What speeds you have attained, and your goal. with the pill setup there, I would go with .7 at most and not quite 0, because with all that inherent slop at the rear , you stand a good chance, under loading, getting a Toe OUT situation at the rear. Will be horrible if she goes Toe-Out. Even Zero/perfectly straight is a bear to contend with. How I see it. If your goal is 150+, even somewhere in the middle is a start. If you need to eek out that 1 MPH more to get there, you might get lucky going closer to Zero. A notch at a time. Zero is really hard to keep directional enough under load. Some Toe-IN really keeps these hooked up and straight.I set mine up at 1.3 but I haven’t run it yet. My thought was I’d still get a little help with straight line stability without going to the theoretically fastest setting of 0°.
You know looking back at my pass, your right when the car got up to around 100 it really felt like it hunkered down and felt really stable and I do run the batwing.I run 1.5° rear toe using the TLR Typhon rear hinge pins. My PB is 150mph with an open wheel Limitless.
Going from 3° to 1.5° wasn’t a game changer, in fact it didn’t make much of an impression on me when I went to 1.5°.
The biggest improvement for me was the addition of the Perfect Pass Batwing. After installing that, the car was immediately on rails. Once I had the car lined up to the centerline of my road, it stuck to the ground - I wasn’t even steering it was going straight as an arrow.
So my point is, rear toe is only one of a number of settings that work together to provide a stable package at speed.
