Way to much rear seperation, too high in the rear and extremely nose heavy..........the first two are easy fixes but the 3rd not so much unless yo get rid of the blower and go n/a as you were questioning........ 72 Dart 470 n/a BB stroker street car `THUMPER`...Check me out on FB Dominic Thumper for videos and lots of carb pics......760-900-3895.....

The car is high cuz of the seperation,parked the tires are 1" in the fender at the top.The car may lift more without the blower weight[150#] but I don't need a wheelie and I get traction so that is all I need.Yes things could be adjusted better.The extra weight on the fron I think is equal to about 400 in leverage terms.

BINGO!!!The slapper bars are flat at rest and in the pic it looks like they are at 25+* up. I am sure that is killing my 60' also. Last edited by Clanton; 07/30/14 02:46 PM.

If those springs are s/s spring ditch the slaper bars. way too violent with spring and bar trying to wrap up then you don't have enough shock to control it. If you got wheel hop with the setting at 7 you have something wrong with you whole set up because the highter the no the stiffer it gets. what front shocks do you have, what torsion bars?

Get c-tracs if you`re sticking w/leafs, lower the rear, get good shocks and you just might be surprised but I get it, these things cost $$$$$ which I too am short on these dayzzz.............Good luck man. 72 Dart 470 n/a BB stroker street car `THUMPER`...Check me out on FB Dominic Thumper for videos and lots of carb pics......760-900-3895.....

The leverage of those bars made your problem worst, you just have enough shock to control this. you make allot of torque with that thing and its probably not a light weight so you have to have the right equipment to help that. I still say ditch bars tighten up shocks to #9 no snubber and try that. we did that to our car and it picked up 60's big time. JAKES AUTOMOTIVE

It even helped the BF Goodrich's stick better. Fran(10secgtx) has a good grip on how they work, so he can help "tune" if you like. He loves helping. Join the quickest team in motorsports.
