Are you running any type of traction bar?

i made up a floater setup and i am using comp ladder bars .with the engine i have in it now. and moved in the leaf springs. made up some new bushing and used stripper bolts to attach them back on the car. i made up some off set shackles i have a big tire up in the car. with all stock stuff i did have a 454 that would be about 450hp but at the track i did get a bit of windup . if this is just for the street i would try it the way you have it less you are going to be hard on it ?
