You forgot to tell them you did that with the back tires. Lol

Chassis looks to stiff. Does not seem to plant the back tires. I would guess something is in a bind in your rear suspension. You have plenty of power. With the short times you have posted mid 1.20 60 Ft times should not be a problem. Check all of your angles on the ladder bars and pinion angle. Loosen the rear shocks and let the suspension work. Is that a mono leaf spring?

[quote=joespanova;385959]New engine was supposed to be on the dyno two days ago but as usual, the shop has something ahead of me. Once that's done, fix the chassis. The driver side floor at front leaf spring mount was pushed up the rocker panel.
Adding Calvert single wheelie bar and fix this and that and go racing. But today it's 112* outside so motivation to work outside is super low!

Yes........

and I can definately stand to loosen the rear shocks...........I had a suspicion they may be too tight.

Re: Impossible to achieve high 1.20s sixties
 

I also want to add.........nothing is "in a bind" , both ladder bar front bolts are always loose , floaters are oiled ( basically WD-40 ) and springs have poly / graphite bushings ......everything moves freely.

In the pic below everything is as now with the exception being the Afco double adjustables it now has......

What gear box are you running in the nova?

Re: Impossible to achieve high 1.20s sixties
 

Eastexas Racecars can fix that for you. Some of the best money I ever spent. My SS/JA car, when I have the extra weight out of it, goes 1.26/1.28 all the time. Immediate problem was curing red lights. Didn't realize it reacted so slow until first time I let go of the button when I got it back. People bring cars from both coasts to those guys. Every time I go there, I see another big name car from a long way off.
