60 foot problem with '86 firebird

Just to hammer a little bit on what I said previously - or as they say a picture is worth a thousand words...

There is a picture of our Camaro leaving the line on the main page (4th flash pic) with the modifications that I mentioned previously.

Seriously if the lower bars are basically parallel with the frame connectors then your IC is out there in front of you - way out there. The car will never work any better. What you have is decent, the slight body separation, planting the tires looks good - it's just not quick.

so......Even if its NOT spinning.....we could be down a tenth in sixty foot?

How much air in the tires? slow motion the first move is driving the tire down instead of separation. Frt. end sits like it's a 4wd.

Makes you wonder if the car spins at higher tire pressures.......
