Already have that written up and a spreadsheet on laptop :-)

Also looking at other fast cars to see what is different, have been talking to shockie guy who comes up with buggy racers, he recomended to knock 20lb of nitrogen pressure out of shocks, then test to see what is happening.
Currently has 170lb gas each shock in rear, with 150lb springs, shock pressure is currently overpowering the spring rate.
He recommends to never go higher with gas pressure than what springs are rated at.
Also need to adjust valving so rebound is faster, on whoops the back end starts to sink down, as the shocks are not full extending before the next bump.

Here are some shocks working on a car that he adjusts for Finke.
