Just installed my BC coil overs have a race on Friday looking for a good starting point front and rear not to worriedly about ride quality just looking for some adjustment starting points as close as I can don’t have any time to test so hoping someone already has done the testing and can get me close. Thanks Tommy

Guess I picked the wrong coil over to go with

I have BC-ER's and don't "Drag Race" but have done my share of hard launch's with my Whipple Blown LS3. I found the BC's operate better at least half of the 32 click settings (best overall launch and ride quality), and would guess setting them stiffer yet would be best for launching the car. But there is way more to your question than just setting the BC's. Also front and rear shocks may use different settings to control suspension travel and Jounce/rebound. That said, read the attached thread, esp #5 post.

All of us drag racers go with vikings. They have the best out of the box for drag racing. Once you outgrow them, you can send them in to be revalved tighter.

That said, irs is tricky. you'll want to get up on the rear tire, but have the front come down slowly to not unload it. John doc has some really good irs setup videos on YouTube you might want to take a look at
