Hope you guys can see the vid watch the leave good 60' 1.48 ran a 10.6 at 121mph the Malibu hops out of the hole. He thinks he needs more front end travel I think he needs to soften the back and increase the rebound in the back?
And if you wait long enough that's me trying to run him down....

I think your right Larry. Haven't watched the video but if he's hopping out of the hole, sounds like he doesn't have enough anti squat in the suspension. Stiffening the back may not compensate for too much squat in the rear.  How does he have the instant center set?

He has it set pretty stiff in the rear it lifts the front tires than it drops them looks like a hop not alot of squat. his thoughts are that the limited travel in the front is whats pulling back down

Well he modded his control arms to get more travel went from 3.5" to 5.5"
