looks good, but it looks like the front end does not move at all. did you tie it down or something?

what is your 60?

My shocks are not even adjusted and my limiters on my control arm are cranked down. I want to play with the front end next time i go to the track should make for better traction. Best 60 ft was a 1.43 but on my 10.16 pass it was 1.45. Thanks guys

I was curious about your front end too, but it's working, looks fast. Walt

Car looks and runs great. Just wondering did you use a dart block to build your 434?

Whats up SC? Just been busy with new house and just the every day chores of life. Other wise everything else is pretty good can't complain. Thinking of building a 434 myself just picked up a sweet pair of afr's off of e bay and t&d roller rockers shaft mounted for a killer deal. How is the Firebird coming along?
