Re: Make it handle

Think about it like this. It takes some amount of force to move anything. - - -thinking - - - -IFthe tire will hold traction, the best aceleration would be with no squat. no force being used to compress the suspension, and all available force used to move the truck forward. Lots of squat will add traction, but slows chassis reaction time, because some of the force (hp&torque) is being used by the suspension. It's all a balancing act. Get enough traction to launch, but not waist time compressing the suspension more than you need.
