Hmm, my car still has all the factory glass in it, steel doors and the windows still roll up and down. Door locks work too. 
I sure would raise the tire pressure

There's actually 8 pounds in there but you know how that goes. Hurry up to the lanes and wait for two hours while they clean up the last Chevy oil down.

I air up the tires about a 1/4# to 1/2# high then set
them in the lanes as the lane starts to move... but
I run tubes so they tend to build pressure in the sun

Yeah I don't run tubes so they tend to leak down. I had no crew with me that year and the trailer was too far away so you get what you get. The car will still work fine from 9 to 7.5 psi so it's not that big of a deal.

Are the tubular upper arms demensionally differt from stock? I end up pulling my hair out trying to accomodate toe and camber movements through out range. I just get it close and give up.
Yes they allow for alot more adjustment.I now have 6 degrees of caster and I am able to set camber anywhere I want it.Its good money spent.
Thanks for the info.......

Most people forgot what drag racing is about.
Last I checked, it was about going the FASTEST, not the HIGHEST. 
i'm a bracket racer, so it's about being the most consistent driver in the most consistent car.
You're both wrong. Its about having a good time.

Each car, and the track(s) racers attend, are different. The setup to hook, and produce killer package numbers, vary greatly. Of course, I'm referring to et racers. The heads up folks will have a different need. To try and state an absolute, will always have both benefactors, and detractors.

 Nope, you are ALL wrong.

If the front tires are off the ground you have 100% weight transfer,doesn't matter if it's 1" or a foot.
