I have about 25 passes on the car now. I was adding some pinion angle and found one of my coilovers had come apart, the bottom housing dropped off the shaft when I took it loose from the mount. I also pulled my intake to do some port work and found it was not sitting down on the motor enough so it is at the shop getting cut down. I should be back out in a couple weeks.

I wasn't having problems hooking, I set mine up with only about 1/2 a degree of pinion angle so that if it wanted to go left or right I would still have the front end on the ground. Now that I know it launches straight I put 2 degrees more in it to put some lift on the front. It was coming out of the hole flat but still cutting 1.37 to 1.40 60's. I am getting ready to spray it so I figured I better adjust it some to put a little weight back there. I did the same thing with my last car and everyone said it wouldn't make a difference but it went from coming out with the front flat cutting 1.47to 1.50 60's to pulling the front about 3inches and carrying it out and laying down real smooth cutting 1.35 to 1.37 60's.

Actually I didn't fall off, they ran over me and drug me for several miles before stopping to let the old guys go to the bathroom. :oops: :lol:
