It feels great Joel... I am a little concerned about the traction. It spins a little too easily. I knew moving from a 7.4 (2.2*3.36) launch ratio to a 9.6 (2.87*3.36) was going to make a difference but this was too effortless. Once I actually get it tuned and running right the tires wont stand a chance. Once these melt off I will try to put some 305's on the rear.

That video is just a teaser, Ben! It does sound like it's running pretty good! Come on, just a month to get it done

No way in a month... but I did just buy a billy Bob pickup from Joel's neck of the woods yesterday so that I have something to haul it with.
Im going to try to haul it in to the alignment shop thursday.

Looks good , Ben! But that video (at least what I saw) is such a tease! One little blub and that's it! You had better have it done by spring or we'e going to organize a trip to see it in it's natural habitat (your house!). Don't have a clue on the alignment issue. Is the frame good (I sure hope so at this point!)? Keep up the good work!

Yeah the frame is square
And in spec for length as well
I tried loosening the bushing bolts an tightening the rear ones first to push it forward and it only took about 1/4" out

Ben,
I have no useful advise other than put a bigger tire on the one side to make it look the same!
Now just for kicks, are they the same size tires?
Joe
