Hi Guys.
I had my Biscayne to the drag strip last weekend. Things went good for the most part except the car was a handfull at the top end of the track.
The car has stock front suspension with new control arm bushings. The springs are stock 6 cyl and the shocks are cheap Summit adjustables.
Rear suspension has the stock mounting points on the frame (only has 1 lower hole at the front) . There are 2 tubular upper arms with heim joints. Lowers are rectangular tubing with urethane bushings that I made to the shape of the original ones. The panhard bar is origonal that was lengthened to center the tires in the wheel wells. There are air bags in the rear springs, 15psi on the rh and 0 on the left (hose was leaking)
The car works great through the first 3 gears. At the top of 4th and in 5th the car wants to change lanes.
Would the stock springs and cheap shocks make the car wander at the top end? The more speed the worse it seems to get. This was my best run of the weekend, it is the closest I came to a full run.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Shane
