rear shock settings what will help

I have no idea about suspension settings. I dont know where to start. I have a stock shock at the moment dont really have the funds for anymore than it. What do i need to do with it. Due to my weight when i was attending track days i did purchase a stiffer rear spring to get my sag correct. Is there a sag setting for drag racing. Anything will help. Im lookin for a few more tenths possibly to make it in the high 9,s when i travel to the nearest 1/4 mile. thanks so much

This is one question you'll get alot of different opinions. Everyone likes different settings. I'm just gonna try all of them and pick the one that feels better for me.

with your weight and set up I would dial your spring tighter slightly, then make your compression soft, and your rebound hard. that should help you off of the line, you just dont want your shock bottoming out. if it does tighten up your spring some more.

yep, that's a fact.

My opinion is the same as MM's, about 2-3" max sag while launching works for me.
