Maybe correct on steering.So far it seems not to have any effect of front wheels,reason I took to extreme when checking it.Plus steering seems to have zero bind in it. Heck I might screwed up and had rod ends in right location to help. If so it was at least 90% luck.Slip in front of motor is about same point as first rod end.
I thought when driving a FED you where always suppose to be on toes and ready to----------What was that thing.Oh yea drive the car.LOL Sorry had thousand rearend guys tell me I would have to be driving all the way down track in FED vs RED just cruising down.My reply was"xxxx I thought that was what a driver did".
My car is a home built chassis, built to 6.0 specs. 185" wheelbase, SBC, Powerglide with 1.67 low, 4.30 gear, 9 in converter that flashes to 5,500. MT 33x10.5w tires. Fuel cell, battery and fire bottle out front + about 84 lbs on the nose. It took about 10 test hits adding weight, adding tire pressure and raising the wheelie bar before we figured it out. Best results so far with 8psi. and no wheelie bar, LEAVING OFF IDLE, 1.06 sixty foot, 4.69 @143 shifting at 6,400 and lifting early. Dead straight down the lane, not much driving involved. You do need to stay on your toes though because if anything goes wrong it will happen quick. I did try leaving off the brake once but it blew the tires off and shifted/hit the rev limiter without even moving so I guess I'll be leaving off idle. All our racing here is 1/8 mile. I'm probably going to change to a 390 gear so I could run a 1/4 mile. That should soften up my launch a little and then I can go with a bigger cam, more ignition timing AND make it through the 1/4 without running out of rpm.
