1.62 60 foot Now What
I have Hoosier 28X10 slicks, 4.56 gear, built 4L60E with an Edge 3800 stall (actually flashes to 4000), control arm relo brackets, adjustable control arms, reinforced stock torque arm with poly mount, and BMR frame ties. Will a strut brace help the twisting at all? I pull the left front about 4 inches when I launch. I also removed the front and rear sway bars. I'm thinking of putting the rear one back on and preloading it instead of this air bag in the right rear coil.
I know a real torque arm that is mounted off of the trans would be a start. Also, poly engine mounts would probably help. Of course, if I had any money I would get a set of adjustable front struts. Are there any cheap things I am forgetting about?

BMR makes an extreme duty rear swaybar to help with your situation. Either way, you should have a swaybar in the back to help your launches and keep them flatter.
It's doing this even with the airbag?
Sweet 60's by the way.

Yea, I have 25 lbs in the air bag. If you look at the tires and rims, both rims are spinning equally inside the tires (about 3/4 inch per run) so I think we are getting pretty equal traction from both sides. I'm not drilling holes in my salad shooters! Will a tower brace help the flexing at all? I do have t-tops too which kinda sucks. I see that BMR sway bar. Man their stuff is not cheap is it? I'm ok with low 1.6x 60's but I had a 1971 Caprice that used to get 1.64's on occasion. This car should be in the 1.5x's i'm thinking.
