Well race day was interesting. 1st pass nearly took out the tree jumping hard left at the hit wheels up. Tightened struts and 2nd hit still went left but driveable some tire spin wobble is back. Took a little weight off the right rear with antiroll, loosened front a little made a decent pass still wobbled. 4th pass spun and wobbled bad. Now time for 1st rnd so I pulled a little timing, loosened the shocks and struts back to original setting on struts and the car decided to work again. Ran off a string of 6 or 7 5.03's (if ran clear out). 4 straight passes 1.130 60' and then a 1.22 with the rears. It seems like if the front tires are 6" off the ground or more for at least 40' the car is friggin deadly and doesn't wobble. If the front tires don't come enough it wants to wobble. I'm thinking it may need even more anti-squat to shove the tire down.

Glad you are making progress with the radials.
So does the wobble start after it sets the front end down? Is there any chance it could be something up front?
What tires are you using for fronts? I don't know if it is still an issue with modern radial slicks, but way back when radials first came out, there was a lot of guys saying you had to go with radial fronts as well, or it could lead to an unstable ride down track.

Just curious, what is your end goal with the PBR over a bias ply slick to make all this trouble worth it?

I may be old and sometimes narrow minded, but I have always been a firm believer in don't try and fix something that isn't broke

FBJ I’ve read that same thing from classracers who were running radials.
