Indy 1/4 Mile Tuning Basics!!!

[fat_boy327]

Hello, I have been wanting how to learn how to tune properly for the "Quarter Mile" Drag Strip. So what I really want to know is...

1. How does the suspension work.
(Spring Rates, Dampers, Anti Roll Bars, Etc.)

2. How to make your car launch off the line as fast as possible.
(I'm using 4WD cars for dragging)

3. How to "Tune" your transmission correctly.

4. Finally I want to know whats the most "Important" thing to mess with for dragging.

I'm not looking for actual "Tunes" Just how to tune.
I know most people keep everything a secret but please help a man out!!!
I've been playing this game for god knows how long and I still haven't figured out how to tune!!!

Thank You, Fat_Boy327

1. How does the suspension work.
(Spring Rates, Dampers, Anti Roll Bars, Etc.)
RWD: On Launch
High rear, low front, stiff front, soft rear, makes the weight of the car to shift to the rear, pushing the rear tyres into the ground gaining maximum traction. With the dampers, the stiffer they are the quicker weight will be transfered onto and off them, the softer they are the slower weight will be transfered onto and off them. Extension=when the weight is being loaded off the springs, Compression=when the weight is being loaded onto the springs, so on launch you would want the weight of the front to be shifted the the rear as quickly as possible. You do this by making front extension stiffer and rear compression stiffer.

2. How to make your car launch off the line as fast as possible.
