Bushing on front? need to be loose. Let shocks do the work. Really needs GOOD double adjustable all the way around.
4 corner weight?

Check out the Mickey Thompson Pro Bracket Radial tire. They are notorious for helping small tire cars to hook extremely well. Completely changed my cars launch consistency. They have cars running in the 8's with these tires.

Also, you need to invest in a set of Santhuff shocks for the front. Well worth the cost, really made a difference on front end travel capabilities of my 67 Camaro. QA1's are limited in their capability. Get a hold of Marty Rinehart, he is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to suspension advise. I use the Mickey Thompson PBR 29.5 x 10.5 tire. 60 ft 1.33-1.35, car runs low 10's @ 129 mph, and hooks great. Now, I did have a problem hooking at Columbus Divisional, but there were several small tire cars spinning. Track prep was non existent in my opinion. Talk to someone at Mickey Thompson about their tire, they are really good to deal with.
