The front coil springs have "Stored energy" in them when compressed. By limiting the travel of the shock, it will keep the springs from releasing ALL the energy thus controlling wheelstanding...

Nothing like going 177mph with a broken tranny case (2 bolts holding it in)

I think the reason this motor is has such a small window right now is because the converter is still 1,000 rpm or more to loose. When we can get one tight enough I think it will widen our susp. window and tighten the nitrous tuning window up a little.

Good luck to you guys ... Some of the 275 guys make it look easy, it aint !!

Thanks to MADMAN for his help !!

your right a tighter converter will help you control the power more instead of it flipping the HP on like a switch....

the motor plates and mid plate will end up helping the longevity and probably help you put a little more torque to the tire... Febuary is giong to be interresting for x275. there are several people who i think have a good chance at winning, you included.
