Anti squat idea im not sure if this is a dumb idea or not i was thinking about how to keep weight above out tires at wot. would dropping the front of the car and keeping stock height in the back kinda keep some leverage on that weight shift? what do you guys think?
Not really...you haven't stopped the momentum from forcing the rear down. Maybe if you jacked up the rear with stiffer springs...or for that matter just went with stiffer rear springs at stock height.
I know there is stuff out there that you can install in the springs to keep them from compressing...i'm just drawing a blank atm. Basically the reverse of "spring compressors."

Intense used to make a drag racing suspension kit for our cars. It sold for $99. Everytime I tried to order it, they had sold out. As of last November they quit offering it but their site listed it at $69. Here is a link of what it looked like. http://www.3800pro.com/forum/springs...-kit-back.html
Lowering our cars should make them hook better because of the lower center of gravity. You guys with lowering springs might see slightly lower 60 ft. times. Anyone lowered have a before and after time?

thanks im kinda looking for ideas that will work on the street too but thats pretty intersting how much old w body stuff works on our cars? whats the difference?
Another one I have seen is to to create an attachment point at the top of the strut tower and another in the lower control arm and connect with a chain to compress the front suspension. But it has to be done right, obviously, because the forces are pretty high. It keeps the front from lifting and is completely removable.
