What does a front end limiter do on some race cars? Bring the wheels off the ground sooner?

Hey Tom,
The front end limiter helps control front end lift on cars that have too much of it. I prefer to control it by tightening the rebound on the shocks. Don't worry about the limiter at this point. Do look at front travel. You need another inch. Did you move the top ball joints under the arms yet? That's worth a 1/4 or so. The extra travel stretches out the upward motion so the weight can transfer to the rear smoothly. It gives the tires a chance to stay hooked until all the weight is on them. The rebound setting can stretch it out some more if needed. If the front end tops out too quickly it can unload the rear tires. That is what was happening in your video. The idea on your car is too get some front end lift and hopefully carry it aways so the rear tires don't unload.
