We haven't really done anything with the suspension yet.
I'm going to have to research the availability of an adjustable front strut or at least a stiffer one. Then maybe fool with the camber and toe in.
Still need to do something about the steering rack. We need to replace it with a manual one or maybe one tooth less on the pinion?

Anyway..Last night at Wild Horse:
90 to 100 degrees
4000 to 4600 da
28.5 baro

All runs between 1.09 and 1.14 under NHRA index for sea level tracks.
Mark, BMR suspensions has suspension pieces for your car. Also, there is a company that sells a traction bar for controlling the front A-arms during acceleration and there are also aftermarket mount for the engine and transmission that replaces the gel filled OEM mounts. After looking at the BMR pieces, you might be able to replicate them.

You can use the KYB AGR adjustable front struts.
