You do not have a 10 or 11 sec big tire bracket car. Cars w/ a lot of power don't need help lifting the frontend. If it lifts fast it will unload the rear.
One example I remember reading from another thread...picture yourself standing on a bathroom scale holding one end of a 10 ft. long board. If you try to lift the other end of the board off the ground by yourself, you're gonna be putting a lot of weight down on the scale. Now, if someone helps you lift from the other end, there will be less weight forced down on the scale. The front springs/torsion bars/whatever don't need to help lift the front on a high powered car.
One thing Monte Smith keeps preaching is tightening up the front end of these cars. Running mid 9s N/A, my car would not hook at all w/ a pair of those super loose 90/10 Calvert front shocks on it. Put my old Lakewoods back on, which are quite a bit stiffer, and it hooked great.
Ever notice most fast cars have very little, if any, front travel?
A drag racing strut has 3" of total travel.. you get just over 1.5" of extension .. if the shock is loose on the front it tops out QUICKLY and upsets the chassis which blows the tires off the rear
I guess that will be a whole new way to look at it, thanks
