Looks like its working good. What does it 60'? What is the et? I was watching it on my phone so detail is not the best. Are the rear shackles getting close to running out of travel? Could we see a couple of pictures of the car and under hood?

Thank You for the video. Stop the video about 3/4 way thru, and you will see the rear end turn upward enough to see the yoke. I would install a pinion stop, snubber, and clamp the front and rear springs. The operating angle between drive shaft and pinion should be no more than 3 degrees at any time.

To answer some of the questions. The car 60 ft's 1.39 to 1.43 depending on the track. That's with a real 727 - no Pro-Trans. Car runs 10.40-50's. Wheels - 10" w/ 5.5" backspacing. That backspacing is needed to keep the sidewall from hitting the inner fender. Using Hoosier C07 Radials w/ at least 20.5 lbs of air. And wrinkle is lost ET. Photos can be found at this link along w/ other stuff. Click thru them to find the Max-Wedge shots. http://classracer.com/classforum/album.php?albumid=107&pictureid=5808And another in car shot of a good close race. Here are the numbers: - Both cars dialed 10.47 - Reaction times - Ben .0008 Mike .0162 - Finish line - Ben 10.461 Mike 10.4704 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeH--8lLFSg

The pinion wond up is very telling, these sports cameras are worth their weight in gold for finding things like that.

Great looking car and video. I'd be a little concerned about the axle windup though. It looks pretty severe. With the extension you're getting, a snubber wont help much. Even if its right against the floor static, it would be 6" away from anything once you need it.

Mike thanks for your answers to my questions. Love your car. Are the sliders that replace the rear spring hanger legal in stock. Again neat car.

I little spring deflection at the intial hit is not a real killer. When the springs return to their regular form that energy helps to plant the tires a few feet out. The car does look like it needs to pitch rotate a little better but overall looks like most early b body stockers.
