Low ET=high front end video
Those new 325/50/15 e/t street radials definitely do their job. Left off the trans brake from 4700rpm to a punch in the back and a look towards the sky. So the video:

Re: Low ET=high front end video
You need a rear anti sway bar to control that body roll.

I have the stock Z28 sway bar on the back, thought of adding an air bag on the passenger side. This is really the first time it has gotten that kind of altitude, but I know it has always lifted the driver tire first too.

Re: Low ET=high front end video
Add some preload into the passenger side of the sway bar. Adjust it so that it takes more effort to lift the back right wheel off the ground. Depending on how it's installed, that normally would mean to lengthen the link.
Get rid of the stock style end links and get something more adjustable and firm. Rubber bushings don't cut it. Poly bushings are better. Rod ends are best.

Re: Low ET=high front end video
Sounds like a decent idea with the preload. I have poly bushings since they came with the axle and needed to be longer, but I could definitely see rod ends as the best. Thanks for the compliments also. Don't think I can go to the track and not have someone either looking at or talking to me about the car. It's still killing me to keep this motor/trans trapped in my car because it's 3600-3700lbs going down the track depending on if I have the seats and things in the car.
