Not bad.... whats that thing weigh.... you got out.. had some fun beating on it and made it home in 1 piece... what do you have for rear suspension... trying to figure out why its going left on the launch... either a brake hanging or it has too much preload but if I remember its a leaf spring.. are you running Caltracs

Ron; It's more like a barn door, 38.5 square feet of area. Mike; I built a 4-link from scratch a couple years ago. I'm sure it just needs some adjusting. The vibration I think is pinion angle under load. All in all it ran fairly well for an untested (at the strip) chassis setup. 3860lbs. Dave
4-link... sounds like you need to move the pinion angle (4-links like 1* or less but not zero) and reduce some of the preload on the RR... my buddy has a 52 ford PU with a bore 460... he runs 11.50 with 1.4x 60' times.... he's a couple pounds heavier than you and I mean just a couple... good job... get the 4-link squared away and you'll pick up(no punnn....lol)

WAY cool...........gotta love fast trucks.
I'm hoping it picks up a bit more before I'm done. My goal is to have to slow it down. Dave

Dave, are you saying negative pinion angle is down or up in relation to the driveshaft intersection at the pinion shaft?

Dave, I hope you have a good aftermarket and well balanced driveshaft under there. That kind of power and those kinds of speeds demand a quality d-shaft.
