      mine will one wheel peel a bit if I mash the gas from a standstill. Last time I was at the track though it was like the rear wheels were on ball bearings. I ended up droppin 20psi out of the rears and I had to really smoke the tires. Then it started to hook. Still couldnt load it up that much though, definatly need a tach to optimize launch and shift points. And whenever your comin down to Cayuga overkill, let me know, thats where I always go. I live about 25 minutes away from the dragstrip. Open track nights are wedsday and Friday nights, 7-11pm. Its open sat and sunday for test n tune, but its more expensive to run and you gotta deal with the racers (some are assholes, dont like guys who are there for fun) Its better at night anyways, cooler out.

            You can see em if you look hard in this picture. They are two metal bars that are flat on each end with 2 holes in them. They connect the front of each frame rail on both sides to the crossmember that runs under the oil pan. For some reason though, I pulled mine off one of my parts cars. For some reason though, the ones off the 90 dont line up totally with the holes in the frame of the 88, so they are not being held in as good as they can be. I either have to get them welded in or make some new holes.
