Very cool car, i know what you are going through, the wheelie bars will help, BUT shock adj, Progressive for the nitrous and digital7 are the real keys to going fast with your car. I have been 5.30's witha lot less motor and 440-1's at 3500lbs. THe biggest improvements ive made is keep the front down with a progressive, and working with travel and shock adj. You will go the fastest when you keep the bars from ever hitting the ground. With the motor you have i would be as bold to say you can go 5.0s or even in the 4's YOull see when you get the wheelie tamed just how much nitrous you can put to it, My car is the same as yours, ladder bars with coilovers, 295 drag radials, street car 3500lbs
....BAD A$$ STREET CAR.....

spring rates will really help you also, lighter in the back may not exactly be the ticket on a car like yours....also not so light in the front. A stiffer spring will slow the transfer, maybe calm the wheelie. MR2Performance can really help you alot with your setup for shocks and springs. He gave me some good tips

Very impressive, does it still have the street equipment on it?
Yes its still street legal. It has all the working headlights, tailights, sidemarkers, etc. It has the factory dash, headliner, and carpet.

I've got the digital 7 box but not the progressive controller. We also have double adjustable shocks in the front with the Alterktion front end. We had it too tight in the front right after putting those on and it wouldn't transfer any weight. We slowly backed them off a little at a time until it seemed tame. Then.....wham, outa nowhere it decided to launch to the sky again. It just so unpredictable. I know I could more than likely tune it out with the digital 7 with a timing curve but I think I would feel more safe with the wheelie bars on it before we run anymore. The chassis shop we are taking it to has done several heads up ten five cars in this area and he says he can set it up to like you say to where it never gets on the bars. We're looking forward to getting back to the track with it. 5.0s is a pretty lofty goal, but I hope you're right. I would love to show up in a crowd of chebbies and ferds and lay down 5.0s!!! We'll see.....
Did you progressive controller help you that much? Which one do you have and how much percentage do you leave the line with, and when do you bring it up to 100%?

yeah, yeah, yeah.....hopefully we'll be seeing you at the track some this year. We plan running some TTT5 races with the cuda and also some OTS races with the Duster. We've been working hard and heavy and the duster and are getting real close. I don't think we will have any problem hitting 4.70s with the combo we've got in it now. Hope to see you soon.....

I still need to make a trip over to buy a gen-set from you
Look out for bad weather today too, sounds like it is headed your way
We've got plenty in stock. They've even come out with a bigger one now...6300!!! So we've got the 3000, 4500, and the 6300. I'll make you a racer's special price on whichever one you decide on. As far as the weather goes...this crap needs to quit. If we don't get some warmer weather and some sunshine, business is going to be terrible. People don't usually buy campers in the rain! Prayin for sunshine here.....

I think I'll have to get that big one, my trailer has a 50amp service on it
Guess that was some kind of code they had to abide to ..
30amp would of been plenty big enough I'm sure
