Did it MPH around 82 or so? If so it's running about right for all the incrementals. Chipping at the 60' is great way to learn what works and get the ET down.

The sway bar slows front end reaction. Without it would be good from both a movement and weight basis.

Is the front end alignment spot on?

Snubber = door stop. Clamp the front segments if you want it to hook well and loosen the rear straps so the springs can separate.

How much front end travel from static to extension? Should have about 5+" and really free. No binding. A good 90-10 shock would be nice.

The difference between a good converter and a decent one is night and day.
