    Your car probably has 70/30 weight distribution with the engine that far forward and that sedan long wheel base------all the racing altereds had 25% engine set back (lots of them more) on a chassis with a lot shorter wheel base-----------Have you ever weighed it????

    Na never weighed it yet, it used to be a stock wheel base with the distrubator under the cowl, didn't like it , stretched the frame. It will get out of the hole but the only way is to not put your foot to the floor untill your rolling already. I built the motor with all the good stuff , just did not build it for raceing, but do want to put some slicks on and try a pass one day
