Front afcos were full tight on third pass and five clicks from full tight on second pass. Just needs more weight on front with the radials. Car is fine, didn't touch headers or oil pan. Oh he don't like bars so that's not a option at this time.

I think the video speed is off, making it look like its slamming down harder than it really is.

Fourth pass looks great, new gears and the 400# of sand bags out of the trunk , right. :>} No way did just a gear change to 4.30,s made that much difference. Only change was gears Made the swap between rounds.

Did you add weight to the front before taking gear out of it? Making some power. No we didn't have any with us. Brett thinks it will be faster to eighth with steep gears in it.

Looks like it bounced back up.. been there done that.. when my struts blew out it would do that in all 3 gears on my junker... HAD to get them rebuilt plus it bent the ball joint stud on them

I'm no expert, but it looks like it could have used 100# up front before making the gear change. It would probably still be quicker to the 1/8th with the added weight.
