Thanks Eric. Your rear suspension package works the *****.
Minimum setup and now the car runs consistant 1.2 60's with the front tires barely lifting. Maybe 6" at most. Very consistant.

Update- car is running consistant 5.2-5.3 in the 1/8 at 132mph. 60's are 1.22-1.27.
Probably about 30 passes so far and 300 street miles. Only issue was a leaking valve cover gasket.

Going to do some converter work to try to get a high 4 at 20lbs of boost.

Car runs consistant and very straight. Lifts the front 4-6" for 50-100'.

I'm going Pro torque for now and keeping this Yank just in case. The yank has worked very good and consistant. Just need something to hold top end more.

New converter is ordered.
Can't wait till fall to run another 1/4. Going by my times it should be into the 7's.
Not bad for a motor built just like our street cars.
