Clanton , it looks similar to my satellite on launch . You may have to tighten up the rear extension some more . How much front end lift is available ? Getting the best front rise may be difficult with the weight of the blower . Most people watching mine say it looks like the whole car lifts vertically then leaves

.Thanks.My shackles [stock]allow the back to lift and spring to arch so I was looking at limiting the shackle by 1/2 or get sliders along with stiffer shock ext limit.The front has 5+" of travel.[CE3way at 90/10]I do not spin but if it does I can lower the front to get more travel.

I have stock rear shackles and XHD springs . The Caltrac will force the separation . As long as you are not spinning should be ok . Front travel @ 5" should be fine . Picture does not show a lot of lift at front , but this could be like I said the extra weight on front . Could even be your shocks - I have QA1 single adjust on front , Rancho 9 way on rear . Rear set 1 click off full tight extension , front to full loose .Oh I also removed a couple of spring clamps on the rear half as well, similar to how superstock springs are

The problem I had was in the shifter linkage and that changes a lot of things like I can move my seat back some and I will be able to reach the new shifter moved back 2".I have things to do over winter now.The shifter is over due.

Limiting rise with the shackle will only hurt the launch. If the front spring segment is pushing up on the body that hard, it likely needs the shock tightened to prevent that rise.

Especially when you are talking about a car with as much power as yours.

Man, I feel for ya and know you`ve been fighting that car for a while now and hopefully you can get it together. I agree about the shackles in the rear and limiting separation and getting as much front end transfer as possible being it`s very nose heavy. Good luck man........ luck

Thanks for the reply!I am just a little concerned about the pinion angle like in the pic so I will slow it down with the QA1's.Thanks for hanging with me thru this I know it is tough.The good news is I am not dealing with the 3 circuit jetting anymore aside from the main jet 1 or 2 jets and the pinion angle is a little better on launch.I am not going to like cutting out the factory console shifter but it is for a good reason,Maybe I can remove the handle and mount the new 1 over it,or not.
Thanks for your input again!

I can lower the front but the back is for tire clearance.[stock wheel well w/10.5x29.5 tire]

I do not say that to argue just that whatever I can do with what I have is fine.
