the guys you see really bite on the street, in any situation, have balanced their car..they may claim its just some old stock suspension stuff, but it aint..and they know how to drive..back in the day, my old firebird, running 1968 pigtail shocks and stock springs would 1.9-2.0 60 ft..but at 100 ft it was rolling like a southbound freight and ran low 10's..before the advent of drag tires..the secret was in moving weight around as much as i could, and getting the pinion angle just right for spring wrap/engine torque values..of course we lied, and just said "look it even has stock shocks, dont be scared"...take some time to measure your car, and do it up..the results will be very satisfying..
