well its a 383 sbc, turbo 350 with a tbrake sort of a nine inch rear (not a nine inch carrier, its a 12 bolt center section, dont ask i have no idea who makes it) 4.11 gear 225 shot of nitrous on a progressive controller that run was at 30% start and 1.5 sec build time, and i have front end extension limiters (2 1\4 ext) and spa1's on full stiff with spherical upper mounts to get rid of the slop in the original rubber mounts, random tech torque arm (the car is a former poster child of thiers) and its got some aftermarket tubular lower rear arms, and the front has aftermarket lowering tubular a arms. later after i turned the nitrous down more i was cutting 1.28 60 ft times...on the rear wheels, if i can get the front to stay down i can go quicker, i also found out that i ran out of fuel pump, i have noticed they dont make it anymore i wonder if thats why...that thing shouldnt run a lawnmower with the volume it has now, car just noses over at 8-900 ft at first i thought the nitrous ran out, but thats not what it was, dont think i hurt it but i am a little worried (engine has 11 passes on it right now) im thinking about putting a turbo lsx together for it in the future, but this engine is making ok power right now

bet you would pedal too lol, i really put it on the bumper about a month before and when it came down it knocked the wind out of me, and i really didnt want to have to fix the headers and since i changed strut mounts i dont want to bend the towers

Id tighten up the travel limmiters and work on getting the front ned down.
Are your rear shocks on full loose? Or all they are on full stiff?
My car with non adjustables up front and QA1's in the back set at 4 on the motor keeps the front end down still and thats with no rear sway bar!
Im going with some double adjustable AFCO'S to hemp it out on the nitrous. Going with a 275 next year and try and get it planted with a 275 out of the hole.
From what I have seen and been told getting out of the gas makes the car come down harder, if you stay in it the car takes longer to come down but comes down softer.

What are the travel limiters set to? I would set it between 2-3" of travel and stiffen the front shock some.
Also noticed on the wheelie you turned the wheel some while in the air, I used to run a 250 shot off the T/B and I would rest my left arm on the door panel so it won't jerk your hand off the start that way you make sure you don't have the wheel turned.
Nice run wish you the best.

the front is limited to 2 and 1/4 ext (as short as i could with what i got, ordering stuff to make shorter ones) front struts are full stiff
as for turning the wheel, well damn arm just went flying up what can i say.
