To tie the front end down defeats the purpose of using that stored energy and a big block with 9" tires needs all the help it can get from the front end so what I think you need Phil is a shorter front tire similar to what Mark Faul and Jody Lang use to get a desired reaction time. You've done this long enough to know people have faster or slower reactions than others. You'll take a small hit in elapsed time but again look at what Jody, Toby and Mark have done over the years and even the thread an the main page now about Katie Sepanek, these people have taken cars that while not the fastest in their own class have won on a routine basis.
