Joe I find it hard to believe you even asked this question....

Front end travel will have a big effect on your RT.....and any F-Body from GM is one that can use an adjustable limiter on the upper a-frame....

Limiting front end travel will speed up the RT.....but at some point hook will suffer......

A 3 speed is probably quite a bit different than a P/G and I would guess less effected by front end travel......

I used one on my '69 Camaro in the early eighties.......A nut welded to the upper a-frame and a big bolt going thru it to contact the frame....I messed with it all the time bracket racing......

I can tell for sure there are cars with front end limiters......just look at the pictures......F-Body cars go way negative on camber with no limiter.....If you see a car high in the air with the front wheels at about a ZERO camber angle......it's got a limiter in there....

If your redlighting with full travel..........you have to look elsewhere to slow the RT's........

As good a driver as you are I figured you knew all the tricks.....
