It appears that the body is twisting, is that a normal thing?
I see some cars where the front wheels lift together at the same level.
These are questions from a person that admitingly doesn't know didly about suspension tricks for drag racing.

My frame connectors are 1 3/4" round tube welded to the floor, rockers and front and rear frames. The body is not twisting, it's all in the suspension. If you look at the rear tire, the wheel well lip is overhanging the tire slightly. The drivers side tire has about 6" between the tire and lip. I need to put an anti-roll bar in the rear, that will fix the launch. I'll be adapting an s10 sway bar this weekend to hopefully help for the last 2 races this year. Over the winter I will put in the anti-roll bar.

Nice Job, new motor is workin good.

what front coilovers did you use?

nice work, everything looks great, it will be a cool car !!!

I used qa1 r series with 250 lb for a 69 camaro. I'm replacing them and going with double adjustables and 350 lb springs over the winter.

Why are you going 350# springs?

I want to get the front up a little. The 250lb springs are settling a little too much for my liking. Getting to close to coil bind.

BTW I'll be putting everything up for sale after the swap.

i just got some qa1s from mpr racing ,he has done about 30 h-bodies and uses the mustang 2 spings 8inch 375 lb
