  1. Tech is not a problem. But they will not hook. You would be better off with your street Radials. The Side walls on a round track slick are extreamly stiff and the compound is way to hard for drag racing. If you cant get Drag Slicks lower your tire psi to around 20-25 on your street tires and drive around the water. Do a light burnout with out the water and you will be better off than with the roundy round stuff.
  2. What I have on there now is only Temp I am going to change them this week. I have a few Pics up I will send you a link.
  3. The limiters was a complet success. The car stay's on the wheelie bars for about 4ft and set's back down. After 15 passes and 2 day's it went from a 6.321 to a 6.384 @ 108mph ( 1/8th mile)
  4. Katman I understand about center of gravity and how a drag car works this is not my first trip down the strip. The problem is not with going to high. With the front end limited the front end will come back down sooner. With as much travel as this car has the front end stays up the entire length of the track with the help of the front springs pushing it up. I have been real successful with doing this in all my other cars over the years. They all have Upper control arms and are easy to limit on the upper control arm. This is the first time I have had a strut car to limit. I got it down to 4" tonight and we are going to Albany tomorrow and I will find out how it works. I would like to get it down to 2". Thanks for all your advise
  5. Thanks I will give them a try.
  6. Whats the best way to limit the front end travel on a 1970 240 ? This car is back halfed but has stock front suspension it has about 18" of travel in the front end. It leaves on the wheelie bars and stays on them till you lift. I need to limit the front end to about 2-1/2" to help bring the front back down. It looks like the best way will be to run a cable from one of the bolts that bolt the front suspension to the body down to one of the bolts that bolt the strut rod to the lower control arm. Is there a better way? The only picture I have so far is on my web site. Thanks
  7. I have a 1970 240Z and I am having trouble finding the Hood Emblem and the one for the rear deck lid. Any one know a good source for these? Thanks.
