those felt like dead hooks...probably had too little air pressure in the tires on those runs (12 psi cold)

Whoa! The wheels up are impressive but what really stands out the most is how level the car is! Any ideas on why your car is launching so level up front, both tires seem to be the same height off the ground, no twist at all! Do you think the BMR sway bar gets the credit?

I have ALL the BMR suspension parts EXCEPT the extreme rear sway bar but my left front still lifts higher than my right front despite the fact that I also have a hawker battery and no A/C. So it’s not like I’m too heavy in the right front of the engine bay. Plus I have an airbag in the rear right and I'm pretty sure the rear squats evenly so the flex must be in the middle or the front of the car.

Here’s a couple of my launches (you can clearly see the left side is higher):

the solid swaybar was the definately the trick for an even launch

I've been preaching this locally for a year now

Before the swaybar, the car would launch hard toward the wall...since the swaybar, nice straight launches everytime

A confident answer. That's what I like to hear!

Sounds like I need to complete my BMR suspension.
