I knew I saved the slips from the first day it carried fronts passed. I’m an adrenaline junkie and if the car likes carrying em that far it’s ok with me. The first time my super stock buddy came to see it leaving this way he said you need to tie the front down I tried it and it killed the sixty. If it had all the best suspension might be a different results but for my low buck operation this is what works best.

I’ve meet a few other people in my day that were never wrong but on certain days they’d at least tell you that they have never been wrong, but they might’ve been mistaken a time or two but not this guy. I’m not a cactus expert, but I know a prick when I run across one.

is that all you've got, name calling? Now what part of the TRUTH and the FACTS don't you like.:p

Oh and your time slip is unreadable and you didn't provide photos of your shocks and limiters.:p

I’ve said what my setup is in a previous post other than that it has no limiters. Your’e like gum on your shoe when you think it’s gone ya check and it’s still there but you have wasted enough space on this subject so i’m done.

Some people don't want to debate or discuss, they just to bully everybody.


I didn't think it will matter, but this should be readable.

Thank you

And to know it all 1320 I never said that I know it all. Your arms have to be deformed by now from all the patting yourself on the back.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 
Going back to the first question of this post,if wheelies helped or hurt ET's,,Linda and I have definitely done testing for both and in our setup,69 Camaro 350 255hp in G/SA, the results were very impressive. Many might disagree but we found that our multi leaf rear suspension with slapper bars were just as good if not better than the modern day setup that so many run now. Also we found you need a really good front shock and springs to control the lift and landing. We also found a clamp on wheelie bar works great with the setup we have.
Overall,,Linda and I found,with all our computer data,that to much of a wheelie,,bumper scaping,affects et and no wheelie affects our ET and,,low horsepower and lots of horsepower affects ET plus wheel stands. One thing Linda and I know is Alan Rhinehart and Joe Castillo sure do like Stock Eliminator and wheel standing cars.
