Mikey, I have an idea for you ... put about 200 lbs back on the front end, LOL. Seriously, what panhard, lower control arm and torque arm setup are you running?

Great runs Mike!! A bit of shock adjustment and maybe the use of a set of front suspension limiters will fix everything. We have a few "stock" suspension cars running the same stuff as you with carb/poweradders and have no problems keeping the nose down.
Tighten the coverter a few hundred rpm and that will settle things down as well, prob. pick a 10th or to as well!!
We also have a special oil pan that we do(factory one mod.) with a mod pickup as well that will alow you to run her on the bumper for a bit without loosing the engine!!, stock elim. guys were having this problem and we were asked to see what what we can do.
A few mods and a bit of good wheather should yield a 10.00 something or even that 9.99 that you are looking for, keep up the great work. <img border="0" alt="[Camaro]" title="" src="graemlins/camaro.gif" />

And everyone wonders why I put these on my car..... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

FYI, IIRC George was only able to contrl the wheelstands sans wheelie bars once he switched from QA1s to Afco double adjustables......
Also, looks to me like you controlled it pretty well by the video. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Thanks Nick, already have a call into Wade to get an oil pan on the move since this one is cracked. The car is hooking extremely well now and I want the initial shock of weight transfer as it is but without the nose-bleeding wheel stands. I think a softer shock in the rear and a tighter one up front will help. As soon as I get the new pan in, I'll be out trying again.

Wheelie bars would look badass on an 4th Gen. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

quite a wheelstand <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> MadMan can help you cure that. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Kurtis, everyone wonders why you put those on your car because you never go to the track! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Just kidding broh.. Does your license plate frame say "My Street Car is Faster than Your Race Car"
If so, I GOTTA HAVE ONE! Where to buy... Price is no object <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> The local racers hate my guts as it is, I may as well start mocking them! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" />
