Default Car is unloading at the track

When at the drag strip the car launches initially good but then it "uncoils" and the weight transfer is moved back to the front. What can I do to fix this? The front suspension is completely stock and I think that is where the problem lies. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The rear suspension is as follows..

BMR lcas
BMR panhard
BMR adj tq arm
QA1 single adj shocks
Spohn drag bar
The lcas are on the second from the bottom adjustment hole on the rearend (4 possible selections)

Sounds like the front end is wanting to come back down to fast. Some adjustable front shocks or coilovers should help alot

I think I am going to try the Vikings brand front dual adjustables.

If the front comes up nicely then drops down too fast, you need to increase the rear rebound to hold the weight rearward longer.

Viking rears will allow you to keep a reasonably soft compression out back while increasing the rear rebound.

If you do all four you'll be sure to have enough adjustment.

I noticed a big difference in front end lift when I did tubular lowers in the front. Wow it's like looking at the sky when you lay into it. And, that's with a sway bar attached.
