If you start to feel uncomfortable lift your right foot a little or all the way off, DO NOT jerk the steering wheel around, make all steering inputs gently, a tiny bit, not a BUNCH scope
4 speed cars can get your schynter(SP?) really tight in a hurry at WOT whistling
Once it starts to make you feel bad do something to correct it up Don't take time to think about what to do at WOT and then do something, don't freeze up tsk twocents
That's all good info, but that car should not be doing that, especially at that power level. Something is physically wrong with it! I doubt if it is driver error.


I haven't been to the track, Ill be going soon, just gotta drop the broke in 446 into the engine bay and wrap up some interior issues..

I posted this question to get some edumacation bout the shimmys and fishtailing ive seen watching other racers, many which went out of control and smashed up some really nice cars. I just want to be prepared. Im going to do what was suggested, make a few light runs and see if I encounter any steering/suspension issues, and get them worked out before I try again.

I replaced my entire font suspension with new pitman/idler, all tie rods ball joints, control arm bushings, strut rod bushings, center link. had my power steerin box rebuilt, welded steering box supports, reinforced the mounts for the strut rods, skid plate and boxed my lca's, 1.06 firm feel torsion bars, steering shaft connection (forget what that was called) and also frame connectors. Ive done an alignment but will redo it once the engine is in.
