Thats pretty expected..Ive seen about 15 F body subframes in the last wto weeks with rusted strut bushings..That would hamper your weight transfer substantionally..Take the car to the track and let me know who it does compared to old..What did you do for struts?

Well the 6 cyl springs didnt seem to help that much, But it was on a T/T night and the air temp was still 100* at 9pm when I made my last pass. So I ordered a set of LCA Relocation brackets from Sphon. I will have them installed before the next race. The car has not been lowered, but due to running a taller tire the LCA are lower in the front than they are in the back. So im hoping they will help.
