Well Jim, i'm john newman from wheelie world, everyone i ask questions to, tell me to talk to you, So going from my wheelie world questions to these, i had a problem some time ago, on how to keep the front end down, now since the car is back out i got rid of the stock gas tank and put my new 3 gal. fuel cell and battery in the hatch area and added a above the rear anti-roll bar and the strange double adj. rear shocks, and front-end limiters, so when i got the car out this year, the car is totally different, it just spins like a street car, but if the track is like glue on paper it will get some hook on the launch but then go into spinning and it will do this all the way down the track, cause the car will fill up with smoke from the tires, what kind of info. do you need from me and i'll get it to you, cause i'm getting tired of trying things that doesn't make any difference. Thank you. John Newman.

84' firebird, i'm thinking that there's to much nose weight, cause before i changed the car, i had 53% up front, but i could be wrong.

I RAN INTO THE SAME PROBLEM THIS YEAR WITH MY KONI STRUTS AND COME TO FIND OUT 3/4 THE WAY THROUGH THE YEAR ONE OF MY KONIS WERE BLOWN OUT. I CHANGED TO A SET OF STRANGE ONES AND PRACTICALLY FIXED ALL THE PROBLEMS. THE KONIS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR GOING BAD.
