i'm having tire spin issues out about to 60ft. (aprox) i'm experencing a chatter feel and not quit sure what to do. i have a 69 dart with ladder bar rear and penske d/a rears, the front is torsion bars that came with the 318 model. upper arms are heim and heim strut bars with the calvert 90/10's. besides any sugestions i have a hunch that when the front shocks top out that it may be disturbing the rear since the calverts extend so quickly. if one is to go to the d/a front shocks, would you want to set them at to pull apart slowly and not let them reach the full extension during the launch. the car has brand new 11.00 x 29.00" hoosiers set at 12lbs. the engine is a 528 wedge mated to a glide. i leave off a button at 4000 and then flashes to 5600 rpm. i'm sure there may be more info needed and i will reply as ness. thanks.

Video is the best way to check things out... how much
front end travel... also you might want lighter T-
bars to give you some more push upwards for a longer
travel... if you thing it tops out on the upper arm
bumpers cut them down to about 1/2" .... what rear
shock settings are you using

Where do you have your ladder bars set on the front heim joint mounts, upper, lower, center or hole?If it is shaking(shuttering) the tires try pumping them up a half to one full pound

front travel is 3-1/2 to 4" before contacting the snubbers. the shocks are set in the middle of its on the comp and rebound. tire pressure is 12 lbs. i have not tryed altering pressure. the rear extension i lossened 3 clicks with no change. there were some big tired cars that were hooking fine last night, just not mine.
