Damn. That thing loves the hose! Did you change the rear suspension geometry? It seems to have some pretty good ant-squat going on there for a g-body.

Petey-Pop-383

You are very observant Speedtigger!
I have a baseline suspension kit with buckets on the chassis side to adjust the upper control arms mounting point.

Kind of what I'll be doing with the mustang, but using lower control arm relocation brackets.

I also got the car to sit low in the back to which helps the geometry out with the 12bolt too.

I've been a best of 1.37 60foot. .028jet all in 4800rpm off the brake.
I have a progressive controller but it doesn't seem to be needed! haha

I love those brackets that Baseline makes. I wish they made them for A-bodies.

Doesnt have the traditional g body squat or lean.....lol. I had one, but it left pretty decent. Buddy has one that only runs 8.5s in 1/8 and my god it twist like crazy. I swear when it ran 7s, It left on 3 wheels a few times. lol

Petey-Pop-383

Oh I have been there done that with the G-body twist!
Old 385 solid roller motor with actual stock suspension, boxed lowers, air bag in right rear, and comp. 3 way adjustables!
Pic below is with my old Wilson 2stage plate leaving on a 150 shot, foot brake th350 trans.
That day I made a hit and the drivers front was 2feet off the ground, passenger side tire......still on the ground! HAHA

They are some pretty good cars. I loved mine till I cut it up trying to make it faster. I had a .060 350, vortec heads and solid roller cam. Rpm air gap and 750 dp carb. 3600 converter went 6.92. Boy i was flying. lol

Lookin good Petey
glide kills it NA, but keeps it alive on the sauce
I think you should put in a 3rd pedal lol you know you want to

LOL, watched one like that leaving and the one front tire was as high as the wall while the other was on the ground still.... waiting for the windshield to shatter

Safety first. With one wheel on the ground you always have steering control. lol
