As i remember from another thread you posted several months ago you mostly bracket race your car. The set up you have in your car is more of a street type chassis setup. You will not get the kind of performance or consistancy you are looking for with the chassis setup that you are using. I would suggest for you to install a rear frame section with a 4 link or ladder bar suspension using a coil over shock. I have HAL single adjustables on my car. I think this will be money well spent. You can go to a wider tire which will help on the marginal tracks. The powerglide will give you the consistancy that you are kooking for. If you have a decent trans with race quality parts you will not have to touch it for a whole season. The point I am trying to make is if you want to have a race car you have to set it up like a racecar and use race quality parts. The stocker guys use some of the similar parts that you are trying to use. They spend countless hours perfecting and testing their combinations. They do not run their cars weekly and they replace the tires on their cars very regularly.
