    Just an update ... was not able to try and do the changes as some of you guys have suggested. The track already closed for the season. I will try my best to update this thread the soon as I can try the changes but that won't be not until April of next year. Thanks for all the help.

    yah ... I think I have the same issue you went through. I already have tightened my rebound a couple of times until I got to the point that my hit was lesser and the wadding minimal. That's what on the video. Initially, due to my anti-squat and a looser rebound, it hits the tire so hard and...

    I surely will do it methodically, one variable at a time. When I get this one dialed in, hopefully before the track closes for the season, I will report back whatever the result is. This way it may also help some other people like me who sought help in this forum. You guys are all great ...

    The tires are Hoosier QTP 27" brand new. Before that was a MT ET Street Bias. The QTP seems to hook better but have a softer wall from what I experienced. It wads more than the MT's using the same launch rpm. It was your post that I followed trying to get this dialed in. But the thread didn't...

    Most of the runs I did have videos taken. I was more on to getting to understand by looking at the video on the reason why the rear tires react that way after the initial hit. The more I understand, the better educated guess I can make. That is part of the plan to also play with different tire...

    2013 Boss 302. Do I need to remove the sway bar or disconnecting one of the links would be enough? Any preferred side?

    I found a video of one of the members here, @Sactown , on how his car launches and this is what I want to replicate:

    @stkjock When I disconnect the link of the sway bar, do I still need to loosen up the front rebound?

    "Allowing the front end to lift more" makes more sense to me now. It would not top out early due to have more extension distance. I will try disconnecting the sway bar links on my next visit to the track. I got 2 more weeks to go before the track closes for the season. Hopefully I can still be...

    wouldn't it make the front rise quicker and unload the rear? The front tire separation is already maxed about the same time the rear loses traction. The front end only extends about 3" from sitting when I measured it when the car is on jack stand. The ET and 60ft is on the video. 10.86 @ 1.56...

    Hello, Long time lurker on this forum and was a big help during my build of this car. I was building this for about 2 years now and finally got to test at the strip. Most of the things that I have done are from the ideas I got from reading here. Engine wise, I am already good for how...
