Works good so far. I think the coils overs I have are a little stiff though. The front doesn't really rise much, but it hooks hard. Car should be 6.10's in the 1/8th, but technical difficulties have only allowed me to run 7.0 at 100mph....Street car though with mufflers. MF front end, mon leaf caltrac back end.
Caltracs work....

I think you will be OK as long as you can get plenty of front end upward travel, IIRC Calverts recommend at least 5 inches.
Though I have a stock type front end on my car, I do know a racer who switched to an Alston front clip on his C***y. He didn't have as much front travel with this compared to stock and has been struggling with 60ft times ever since.
