I don't know exactly what you have or don't have for your cars, so I am going to make a couple of assumptions.

I am assuming that the Stealth Car has the motor offset 1" to the left. I am also assuming the driver is an average size of 170-185#.

These are starting numbers.

34" Stealth:
Blocks:3" Front/3.5" Rear
Bars:26".825 LR/28".800 RR
Springs:175#LF/175#RF
Helper Springs:15#(Flat)LF/25#RF
Shocks(Rebound# First):
LF:5/4 or4/3
RF:2/4
LR:Adjustable Rebound Start 6/3
RR:3RT or 4

Wheels:Front:7x3 Rear:LR 8X3 RR 10X1(Start RR wheel out as far out as you can get it and LR in as far as you can get it)

Jacobs Ladder:13 5/8" Measure down the center

I assume the same things above for the Spike Car, but the engine is normally 1/2" to the Left.

33 1/2" Spike Midget

The notes straight from the Spike car set-up sheet are enough of the same as the Stealth that I won't re-type them. I will however put down some other measurements.

Front End:No Lead-1/8" Toe Out/12 Degree Caster(Same for Stealth)
Measures 38 1/2" From front of engine plate to center of axle.

Rear End:Measures 33 1/2" from front of engine plate to center of rear axle.

Jacobs Ladder:13 3/8 Measured down the center
