The lenth of the arm also has to do with the amount of lift.. you have a shorter arm you are going to have to point the nose down more then with a longer arm.. loudmouth what you are saying is why I went with the longer, arm.. I didn't have to go to the extreme with the setting on the front. I've got the arm I think 2 holes down from the top, so I still have some more room to go up and down with it as the power level increases, etc.etc.

If you read the post it went all the way on the bumper .... bent the Lic. plate ...rode the bumper for 10-15 feet. One of the track officals said he saw all 4 wheels off the ground for a second.
Congrads to your buudy..... my friend John Force runs 4's and ****

yea that's my buddy/friend Dave that runs 8's and was the one I was talking about. not sure why you are copping an attitude, the pics you posted show the front end high not dragging it and not with 4 wheels off the ground.

I agree
Probably the same 10% that come into someones thread and say "thats nothing my buddy does better wheelies and his racecar is faster than your streetcar"
If you have a mid 9 second car I'm pretty sure you would already know wheels up is not the fastest way down the track
