Any improvement with the stiff wall slicks?

Nothing to really compair it to, I ran a drag radial before. My 60 ft got better. but there are other reasons for that. I like the tire. It's a m/t 3055s which is the biggest you can get under a stock Ranchero.

Hard to tell for sure what's really going on since it's a video of a moving car shot from another moving car.

But it kinda looks to me like it was hooked fairly well. The nose didn't really come up very far during the launch. But at it's current front ride height it might not have a ton of remaining front travel anyway.

What were the 1/8 mile numbers?

Dave what I did was changed the front shocks to a 50/50 setting because of the limited travel and when I did hit hard the front wheels would come off the ground and with the front end being so long and heavy it come right back down and try to unload the rear. The 60 ft is 1.58 and the 1/8 is 7.10. I would like to find a front spring to lower the front, but I have not been able to find a suitable replacement.
