Up date on latest inpoutg. After 45 min call to N&P. Seems tires are more suspect. Scott sseems to thing way too big. Hell only 14" tire, but he the man in FED world. Me I am use to 16x16 34 to 36 tire.LOL A correction on previous statement, Frontend weight is 447# instead of 370. Just checked again today. So anyone in NC got 15 x 12 or 10 qitrh 3 33 tall tires that need run few shot. Willing to brake them in like we do with A/fule for fuel guys.Just trying to help out.LOLThis message has been edited.

370 is more than enough and 447 is on heavy side. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/ "Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge. Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue. 4X NE2 CHAMPION. 2020 TDRA NE2 Champion | |||

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Curly1: Not according to Scott. When tiold him 370 he said little like, when told him 1800 at line(now doubting scales) He said 25% front was their target. He also said 1800 way heavey but then his **** was 1350 in line. Then he ****s light weight poarts and titainium. Still not ruling out light bulb shorted out some.

You are getting sidetracked and lost. Your car will tell you what it is doing and what it needs. Is your car pulling big wheelies? Hitting wheelie bar hard and upsetting chassis or even unloading rear tires? NO. So you have enough weight on front tires. Period. So forget about that for now. Is your car darting from one side to the other? No then it is not slop in steering shaft or toe out. The problem is your car is going to the Right. Listen to your car and think about it. A Front Engine Dragster is a thing of beauty, they are a masterpiece on wheels when they are set up right. They can be a total blast to drive but they are very critical of weight distribution, Tire Selection and everything has to be straight. Even when everything is right you do not drive them like a door car or even a rear engine four link dragster. In my Altered I work the brakes hard driving finish line, you do not do that in a FED as it will start car bouncing. Narrow chassis does not corner real good. Still your car is telling you what it needs. If car is pushing to the right all way down the track then rear end is pointed to left , not centered or chassis bent. There are a few other very unlikely things it could be but I am not even going to mention them so we do not get sidetracked and chasing rainbows and rabbits. When you see a truck going down the highway and the rear end of the truck is way out of line with the front do you think there is not enough weight on front wheels, Toe - in is not right or there is slop in the steering shaft? https://preview.redd.it/ive-ne...a21f0d0e36c428255793 No, obviously the rear end is not straight or the chassis / Frame is bent. No difference here. Your car told you what is wrong. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/ "Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability.
