....WOW, this is a lot of info for me to digest! THANKS for ALL the replys.... ..... I need to start out with the 'less expensive' ideas & go from there. I had this same motor {less 20 HP} in a 2850 pound Camaro & all I did was put a traction bar set up on it, posi rear, & real wrinkle wall slicks. To drive it I just put it in drive, punched it & held the wheel straight. 400 pounds less makes a WHOLE lot a difference. A TOTALLY different animal!!!... Yes, I need to work on driving technique. I tried the 'feathering the throddle' & 'punching it from a roll' yesterday & it works a lot better {actually pretty good}.... I was supprised to hear that even all out drag race cars DON'T hook well on the street! My battery is right behind the rear seat in the center. May be I should move it to the trunk & over the right rear tire? But the fuel cell is in the trunk so I'm leary of putting the battery there. I'm going to get the lower geared posi & then try the tuning methods r/e; looking at the burn out marks to make sure they are evenly colored on both sides. Although I didn't realize that the posi unit will handle differently in a 2450 pound car verus a 2850 pound car.
After I do this stuff I'll try the M & H tires. I didn't reallize that I have 'show tires'. May be that's WHY they look so good!!! I least I like the look!!! .....
I don't know that I want 'the look' with an air shock on one side. So I'll try the other stuff first. Although the stiffer rear spring on the right side is an option....
THANKS again, Bill
