^^ agree

My Stocker T-Bird has run a best of 1.51 60ft with a real stock suspension. ( and that was with a short 26 " front tire)
It has run several 1.55 60 footers

* Stock 1986 upper and lower control arms ( unboxed)
* Stock 1986 quad shocks still hooked up
* Some industrial belting wound up inside the right coil spring (to help level the car on launch)
* Air shocks are the only non factory issue item on the car's rear suspension.

I have no idea what the pinion angle is.

It works, so I leave it alone.

If I were not experimenting for better results I would just box the stock arms and leave it at that...but I'm always searching for something better.

Nice #'s Alan, I have yet to come within a tenth of that. But I guess that's what shoe polish is for.

Took my OEM sway bar off this past weekend for 11 passes and found the car has quite the twist without it. Back on it will go.
