I assume this is what is happening. At first I thought the noise was wheel hop. I am going to raise tha car an inch, but it still seems weird. The *** end drops really hard when the car launches.

do you have the flywheel and clutch combo? if so, how do you like it and which clutch did you go with?

Default Once it warms up it looses it shudder....and a DTS and snub really help as well.
I am very happy with my purchase.

Default YES!!! People in the stands were even making remarks.
As soon as I bottomed out I got crazy rear wheelspin and even got a little sideways. I'll get some stiffer springs one day, after I get a kinder, gentler driveway.
