i'm surprised you're running a 10 bolt still...also surprised it doesn't have a spool.
Nah. That is racecar stuff. This is just a street cruiser.
Got it done today. So nice to be rid of the rear howl. And, I got rid of the driveline vibration I have had since I built the car. My pinion yoke was fubar. Now I can cruise at any speed I want, smooth as can be. It will make the 150 mile round trip drive to the track a whole lot more pleasurable.

while i get what you're saying, the safety aspect of a bottom 10 second capable car on a posi or locker type differential has my shy away from them. having seen a posi or locker push the car all over the track, unlike a spool that's locked solid. keep it in mind if you start feeling the car getting looser as that posi wears in.
LOL. Pretty much the same here. But, I will probably start getting back out there is October.

You would just shake your head if you saw my car. No bars. No harnesses. No real clues as to what this car is capable of other than the long wheel studs on the back. It is not really a race car. I drive it to the store, to my tennis matches, 150 mile round trip to the drag strip and pretty much every chance I get. It has excellent street manners and driveability and is pretty quiet. I seldom run the nitrous. Just an occasional glory pass.

My old "big 10" has been holding its own so far. Hopefully that trend will continue.
I am not sure if the car will like more anti-squat or not, but we will see. I think I will also lower it about an inch in the back to see if it likes that too.
I have them on the middle setting and you can definitely feel it lift. It kind of reminds me of an old Coronet 500 I used to race for Anclote Auto Parts back in the day. The whole car used to lift. It was a fun car to race.
