Curly1:
I do not think the canards will do anything as far as performance I put them on there because I like the look. I want it to look like a more modern nostalgia car. And as long as I own the car it will never have zoomies.

Curly1:
Okay I have got a few hits on the car now and a few issues. First good hit ran a 5.11 and data logger was showing bounce, spin, bounce spin bounce spin. I had 6.8 lbs of air which was what worked best on my altered with same size and brand of tire. Had a problem at the track so had to load up fix the issues and try again. Fix the issues and a few weeks later try again. Okay last night I lowered air pressure to 5.8 and it ran a 4.97 off the trailer. Logger showed it hit and then spun a little and took off but no more bouncing after that. I figured it was heading in right direction so I lowered the air pressure to 5.4 and tried to make another hit. This time it launched hard, spun a little and then got loose and out of groove. It felt like the tires were just way too low. Was there by myself and with out any video hard to tell exactly what was going on with it. Also I had the wheelie bar up fairly high and it hit the bar but it did not feel like it pulled the fronts up that high?

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Curly1:
At the hit the rear is bouncing and spinning. Lowering air pressure helped a little but did not resolve the issue.  Any ideas?

Curly1:
A little more information. The car weighs 1730 with me in it and has 1341 of that weight on rear tires. The tires are MT 3074 (14x32).
