P.S.

All these posts have made me step back and think about a couple things:

If anyone can remember back a few years to when I first built this motor and tried it out, I made a few "It won't go straight anymore, I can't figure it out and feel like an idiot...or am I just a big chicken?" posts.

I'm glad to say that I finally figured it out. Some of it was in the front end, but I fixed that in '06 and the problem was still there...just less noticeable.

It was the #%#Q@#% FRONT TIRES!

I used to leave radials on the front and swap the cheater slicks on the back after arriving at the track....and after yesterday I'm never going to do that again. The car has never gone straighter and has never felt more stable than it did yesterday on that bumpy track. Lesson learned!

PPS
The car has a belt driven water pump and a ridiculously tight/RV spec fan clutch, so...there's the tenth if I want it that bad. That would either involve a trailer, or some kind of "quick change" setup....but I'll probably just leave it alone. Maybe
