Front End Limiter?

how do people have them mounted and how much slack is needed. My front end comes up equally about 8-12" but immediatley drops, was told that a limiter would help on that. any input? and thanks


UMI torque arm -3
Spohn lowers
qa1's set stiff in rear, loose in front
28-12.50 -15 11 psi
M6
10.60 @ 131.97 1.56 60'
I know heat effects 60' but should do better than that!!

Any video of the car leaving the line? Sounds like it's hooking on the initial hit and then unloading. I would stiffen up the extension on the front shocks 1 click at a time and see if it improves. You also might want to loosen up the rear shocks by 1 or 2 clicks.

Adjust the front first and then adjust the rear.

I would play with the shock settings. Try slowing down the front end rise by stiffening the front shocks.

Here is how my car launched with the old 350 in it.
