keeping front end too tight?

Have you tried a stiff sidewall slick or a radial slick? Wadded up tires eat up e.t.

Yea , that picture is with a hoosier slick. I think the side walls were killed. I now have a 295 drag radial on it.

I run a Hoosier radial slick or a MT drag radial, the MT drag radials are 1 tenth slower due to weight.

I'm no expert on 4-links but from other 97-98 WB cars I know of that run similar MPH's as yours, I would try a 46"-47" IC keeping your 8". That's free to try and if it doesn't work, no $$ loss.
And yes, you want the front end as free and loose as possible including the shocks. Again, it's free. Tightening the shocks comes when you have a 60' problem...opposite of your current situation.

Jeff, I can get a 47" long but I dont think I can get it down to 8. it goes to 11" high.
