i must be completely missing something ?!?

What you are missing is a chassis that works...........why traction bars AND a pinion snubber? With the bars set correctly the snubber will never come into play and vice verse. One of them is just dead weight. What are your shocks? Are they adjustable? Do you have a good vid of your car launching at the track?

You are also missing a good set of heads..........a cam with [email protected] isn't gonna be able to truly deliver what it's capable of thru a 1.88 valve unless you really spin it.

Worried about breaking sh**; we all are, welcome to the club!

LOL, always chasing the next weak link.:oops:
