    Got to make another 2 hits. first hit I knocked the tires off around 60 foot out, pretty sure there was something on the track. 2nd hit I left the same tune up in. ramped the 1st kit in from 20 to 70 percent over 4 seconds and pulling 17 degrees of timing to see if it would make the trip and go...

    First hit with the new front end, back half, motor, converter. Its got 11 inches of front end travel now, kinda weird to drive. Feels like the front end will never stop coming up. Ill try to get some better pics next time out.

    The merillat racing upper and lower boxes survived, the frame didnt. Its no wonder I had a hard time driving it. The lower boxes were flexing up about 1.5 inches, it actually pushed the floor boards up. The g body frame is not meant for this, Its weak, and the metal is junk. Im going to do all...

    Well I took the front and rear suspension out of the car. I guess the g body frame isnt made for a bunch of power lol. My frame is twisted like a pretzel where the lower torque boxed are welded in, floor board is bashed in from the torque boxes hitting. I will try to post some pictures. This may...

    It’s got a 15x10 inch wheel on it with a 28x10.5 Mickey slick on it. I want to run a 15x 14 wheel with the same tire. It will have less sidewall roll and a better contact patch with the wider rim.

    I can only get a 10 inch wheel on it now even with the frame notched to the max. Theres so much sidewall roll with the 10 inch wheel, I think thats causing some of the drivability issues. BTW the guys at Tin Soldiers are awesome, super nice guys and willing to help anyway they can. Their parts...

    Still cant throw a bunch of power at it. I think the converter is tight and the 10 inch wide rim is hurting me. Soooo, I happened to be near Tin Soldier race cars last week and bought all the stuff to 4 link it, new rear and all the 4 link brackets and bars. I think it will be easier to drive...
