So I have a 84 cutlass, 489bbc aluminum heads. 90/10 shocks up front,qa1s in the rear, 7 clicks left 14 clicks right, 170lbs springs, by springs up front. F41 sway bars front and rear, full cm 12pt cage, boxed frame, 275 drag radials, 2 step at 3000rpm,3500 tsi convertor,th400 w brake,9 inch ford rear w3.70s spooled,umi control arms in rear. My problem is when launching the left front tire is up 14-18 inches and the right front is just touching the ground. How the heck is that possible with full cage and boxed frame???? Am I that far off with suspension? Any help would be great

I would say get it on a 4 wheel, then put some preload in the right rear. You also may consider stepping up the rear bar to a frame and tube style instead of between the lower control arms.

Do you have any pic's ?? There is no way a frame w/ a 12 point cage is flexing. My guess is the complete body/frame is torquing w/ the left wheel pushed well out of the wheel well and the right wheel tucked in the well. As 64nailhead brought up an anti sway should work if that's what it's doing.
