Then you need to go faster. With your much improved front spoiler, and if I remember correctly, your heavy rear fuel system, and med size tires, I would think some additional rear down force would be a worthy goal. Put you are behind the wheel, and I am on a keyboard, so

Rear suspension is
Standard width 8 3/4 axle Hotchkis leaf springs and shackles Hotchkis sway bar Hotchkis adjustable shocks Dr Diff disc brake kit
I did have 1.5" lowering blocks in there , but the driveshaft would contact the tunnel near the rear yoke.
I only finished building the car in August, so there's still some development to do.
Jobs for the winter: Raise the tunnel a little and reinstall lowering blocks test with grippier tyres and install panhard rod / watts linkage if necessary install some anti-tramp shocks or links on the axle.

Thank you. Seems back in the day after trying both, the factory teams favored panhard over the watts if I remember correctly, for what's worth, and not sure why. What TB and sway bar are you running?. And nice to to see a passionate mopar racer in that car.

Matt Snowball, did you have to modify the Tremec 5 speed at all to get it to shift faster? Just curious, mine shifts kinda slow and I've heard others say the same.
