He intends to run it as it is right now to start. I just wanted to be sure we were close enough. Didn't want to have to worry about him getting in the guardrail or the weeds. Jim

All kidding aside those numbers are typical of a lot of BB A body ladder bar cars, go run it. the wheelie heights and distances will be determine by track conditions, tires, stall leaving the line and several other factors like front and rear shock adjustments and travel



Bob George had me set up my Ladderbars neutral !
With driver in place I have 846 RR and 852 LR with about 60 lbs. more on the LF than on the rF. 52& front and 48% Rear.
Our car also goes straight as an arrow even with some pretty good wheel stands set up this way with 60 fts, in the 1:31 range. BB B Body 3600 lbs. with driver!

I forgot to mention if this is a spool rear end to make sure and check both tire circumferences in the middle at race pressures, adjust the pressure to get the tire circumferences within 1/4 inch. I went to a sewing store and bought a seamtress tape for that after getting fed up trying to use a steel tape

when we set up the weight in my car we set it up as even side to side in the rear as we could, car went right a little, added 30# preload to the right rear and the car has been on a rail ever since,,

30-60 is the range for LB back half cars.....4 link cars 20-40 works good....if anti-roll is used...zero across the board.
BTW....aren't you glad you listened?...
