gtpete:
Thanks for the replys guys some good info there. Especially the weights. You guys run some real quick cars. I'm hoping to get into the tens !!! Real slow by your standards. Does anybody run in the 9/10s ??
StigO:
Like Jon says not hooking up is complicated. In my experience it's hard to believe that a FED is to heavy on front end, usually it's the opposite problem.
Run 6,5 sec in 1/4 mile with 1,00 60´and a controlled but not perfect tire spin. Have try multiple tires, rims, gear ratios, transmission ratios, converters and still fighting the launch.
When my car spins to hard it´s a result of to hard first hit and planting the tire to hard which makes them spin.

190", 4.10's and m/t 33x10.5-15's. 350 buick with a 471. when we added the 471, it went about 70* up and broke the f/end. fixed and added 30lbs up front AND w/bars. 60's around 1.3' and 9.0@147. making new brackets for 60lbs. w/bars are pain to put on and off.

1600lb car only needs 350hp to run 10.0. id think a bone stock 350 could at least make that much. throw in some convertor slip and whatever and your 10.2x?
