That's a good point though, have you considered 3.27s? Anything else is overkill and I think it would solve your wheelie problem.

Menscer recommended changing the rear shocks first and seems to think I'll get away with the Strange fronts and limiters. I need some measurements and maybe we will see!

for sure rears are more important... which took us awhile to gather coming from running on slicks and sissy sticks where it was all about the front.

License passes are all finished up and the car is really starting to come together. As Kris (@93TRANSAM ) said, 5.2 @146 to the 1/8 and eventually 8.12 @158 in the 1/4 lifting early. Still leaving off the foot brake for now. We kept the front end on the ground the whole time with a couple small adjustments and the addition of some suspension limiters.
Representing TeamUPR at the track yesterday. Kris on the laptop making a few small adjustments to the tune up.

This was out second pass out for the day, leaving easy it still managed to put up some serious MPH in the 1/8th!

Thanks, considering I only have an 8.50 cage in the car I need to be careful putting the nuts to this thing. The limiters are from DoubleAAPerformance

Chris Alston's car has been 6.60's with Vortech power! Maybe 25.3 over the winter? Andy Manson has the gangster motor for sure! He is the one that set me up with the blower oil return.
