Not necessarily change but I wanna compare notes from what he had and what others suggest.. he's about 40pds heavier then me so I'm guessing bars will need be a little softer.. I think car was good for him cuz he was a vet and crazy lol yea I'm definitely not expecting to b Steve kinsey next yr I just wanna enjoy myself when not working.. but definitely can't wait to get behind the wheel again.been to long.. BTW I'll be racing in southern ohio.. I would like to try some non wing stuff and go over into ind..

If it were me I would not change bars before I raced it. Like I said before , spring rates are constant more than likely you will just lower your ride heights do to your liter weight.
Then the next thing is get a setup sheet from who ever built the car and don't very far to start with and make sure that the sheet is for your make, model and year.

basically what i was asking was wht ppl run for a base line to compare.. not necassarly change stuff yet.. but im willing to bet tht his rear bars will b to stiff.. esp since he upped then to get car going.. but he has tons of spares so wanted to see if i have wht everyones base lines r.. and bailey doesnt have a set up guide.. Just asking for reference and experience..

Did you call Floyd? Just how specific do you want to get? Sounds to me like you already have a plan. Half of the fun of racing is missing the set up!! And then finding it.
