Zip, I wonder if this is the difference in the door car vs dragster, but we've lowered the top bar *front* holes to get more hit, shorter IC. Must be it is different with a door car, was thinking this would go the same for all 4 links as they are the same concept. Just wondering here thanks for the info
I don't know David, but when layed out with a chalkline the CG (old setting) CG was right behind the front tire (car on the scales) 1450lbs on the rear 1766lbs on the front. Dropped the top bar 2 holes to get closer to the CG and set the preload to 30lbs right side. As i said i have not run the car since the changes were made, but before the changes it would pop the frontend 4 to 5' then fall right back down (no torque with the 377") it would normally 60' in the mid to high 1.40's, total weight 3216lbs.
