Something that pulls power when the front wheels leave the ground a certain amount? 69 Dart GTS A4 Silver All steel, flat factory hood, 3360race weight 418 BPE factory replacement headed stroker, 565 lift solid cam Best so far, 10.40 @127 1/4 1.41 best 60 foot 6.60 at 103.90 1/8

I move wait to the front. 25# on the nose and tighten up the front struts makes it stay down. 2010 Toxic Orange Challenger built by B and B Racecars!

Took SO MUCH timing to make a difference, that it was useless. Then I set up button to momentarily interrupt the nitrous, but that can be hard on the motor. Last thing I did was put a dune buggy master cylinder and hand brake lever in the car, that was only hooked to the rears. Pick the front up, tug the handle and it would set the nose right down...........Now, I have just learned how to set the car up right.......LOL!!!!
