T-bars vs Stored energy

Is it not moving fast enough or too fast?

340 are the wrong direction in almost every case on a drag car.

If it's moving too fast, control it with a good adjustable shock. If too slow, you need to loosen up the front.

Hook and spin is a loading and unloading situation which also may directly related to proper shock control of your suspension. Tire pressure, ride height and a bunch of stuff can be the cause. Lots of times it's in the front of the car, which you appear to be addressing.

it's a 449 stuffed into a 340

have tried different rpm's
has a 4500 converter

can change to a 3500

My thoughts were to free the movement of the upper arm
when we built it with new stock bushing, didn't like the stiffness of movement of the arm

if it matters, ?
it also has rear sliders
