Thanks PRO53!

I have a blown BBC and you running a blown Hemi , you will have the same problem, street tires want stick �� I am running a 21.5 Hoosier radial on 17" wide slots(custom made width) it's fun but hard to when a race when they go up in smoke , but the cool factor is all there

Your car probably has 70/30 weight distribution with the engine that far forward and that sedan long wheel base------all the racing altereds had 25% engine set back (lots of them more) on a chassis with a lot shorter wheel base-----------Have you ever weighed it????

Na never weighed it yet, it used to be a stock wheel base with the distrubator under the cowl, didn't like it , stretched the frame. It will get out of the hole but the only way is to not put your foot to the floor untill your rolling already. I built the motor with all the good stuff , just did not build it for raceing, but do want to put some slicks on and try a pass one day

better get a parachute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!or an ejection seat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

use 3 inch wide shoulder harness--altho a little uncomfortable, they won't leave black marks as bad as the old 2 inchers-------man , they used to hurt so bad that I couldn't sleep the first night after----and then I was supposed to go to work and fly!!!!!!!!!
