I think that will help alot ,above all be safe and the most important thing of alll.......................have FUN!!!!!!:3dSMILE:
update. went to lapeer dragway and the car will pull a 1ft wheelie footbraking it. the trans brake just blows the tires off. the front is coming up alot better but still unloading the rear tires after 10ft. tried adjusting rear shocks with no real differents. the rear seems to be way to stiff and bounces down track but if you get it to stop bouncing down track it wont leave right. best 60ft went from 1.52 last week to 1.41 9.7@150mph with the frontend mods. i'm lost at this point. i think the front is good but the rear has me pulling my hair out. running 9.7s is making me sick when it should run 9.0 on motor. please!!!!!!!! more input guys thanks for the input on the frontend stuff.
Is the rear end suspension still stiff leaving the line?
the left lane at lapeer dragway the flint guys like that track is bumpy is all hell i seen cars unload and jump all over why not go to ubly better track?? and this comming week. i just may show up.. bay city rollers drag is that week end :3dSMILE:Quote:

cool if the money race falls through i see if a couple detroit boys want to go. you missed the opel lay down 1000ft of oil today and some guy forgot to tighten the front tire. just a day at lapeer lol. who said the caddy will be fast lol. it went 9.91 with no oil pressure and a screwed up cam lobe...
last time i was there seen a 57 hit the bump in the track and lost his hood:eek:
that's not funny i had a nos BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in sec gear and the hood snaped in half and the carb blades bent so bad i couldn't pry them open with a big screw driver...
well i will go to ubly see if i can drum up work let me know if you go
will do!!!!!
update car went 1.33 60ft and 9.11 @ 144. on a 100 shot it went 8.94@152with some help from alot of you and some phone calls i figured it all out. the shocks were the wrong lenght and the rear shackels were binding bad. went to rear sliders and 3" longer rear shocks and know it stays on the rear tires. i learned alot about running drag radials in a stock suspenion car.
