Re: ladder bars....what does this tell me?
David,
When you go through the traps and "lift", a lot of the weight transfers back to the front. How does it drive then? Are you really having to steer it? If so, that's a sign of too much front end preload,,,,related to what Dave was talking about.

Charlie....the car drives fine when I lift. It just drifts left when it's making it's best power just after the shift. I shift at 7000, (logger shows 7100 or so) and it falls back to 6400, where the meat of the power band is. The left move is not a hard left, just enough that it will get out of the groove if I don't correct it. This winter I will check the rear end squareness, get the alignment redone and then look at maybe doing some preload adjustments. After having been in a dragster for 8+ years there is a lot to re-learn about this new, totally different animal.
I might spray it sometime later guys.... It's where I want to be right now.....brackets + the ability run the 5.30 heads up classes. Next step would be to spray enough to run the 5.00 heads up. As a 1 guy operation it would be tough to spend enough to keep up with those guys.
Right now my concern is to get this thing where it's on auto-pilot. THEN I'll be able to do some finish line racing.
