Good, so you can see the video too!! I have never felt so stupid, until I tried to post a video on the internet. Lol It's really not that difficult. I guess I will no longer have any excuses to not post videos.

I still have the stock trailing arms in the rear. I did install double adjustable coil over shocks, and an anti-roll bar. I got the front weight down with an all tubular front suspension with coil-overs on the front. Still about 53% weight on the front. 3170 lbs with driver. Stay patient, and you will get it. Message me if you have any questions. Paul Baxter

Paul nice pass. Like the 60' #. Is that the first pass with new front suspension, how you like it so far?

Yes it was the first nitrous pass, second pass overall. I love how it handled, there was not any stability issues. I had the front shocks as tight as they would go, as I did not want to buy a new rear bumper on my first visit to the track. I could'nt believe it hooked so well. It was a tenth better to 60' on it's second pass, than it had ever done previously. If you watch the video, the rear suspension is pretty neutral, did'nt squat or seperate. Still have a lot left in it. Paul

Looks good Paul.. Can't wait to see it all dialed in.

kpeztruck · 11-16-2011, 02:45 PM

It's a 540" conventional headed BBC. I had .026 jets in a fogger, and it came on at the release of the trans brake. Thanks Super73, it will be spring before I can get out and play again. Paul
