Thanks Tom trying to keep the front down is becoming a job...slowing me down spending so much time in the air...I got some video of today and some more of the rest of this weekend longs weather cooperates...need to give up some of this low end for some topend so I'm trying a few things...more than likely though I'll have to do some mechanical adjustments to achieve it...but at this point I dont see how I could ever utilize the t-brake, footbraking up on the verter 2500 and cutting the 60's I been cutting lately...

Two words: Wheelie Bars

The car might not hook but hey, you'll keep the front end down. This is Neal by the way. You did a cam for my 396 out of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Getting ready to fire the car up. I still need a throttle cable bracket. I just don't know which one will work. Please help. PM me

Neal, Joe has a wheelie bar on the car. The thing is a beast when it leaves.
