With the new joints, there is zero friction keeping the front end up. which guarantees total front end travel on the launch. Track prep is certainly key, but 6" of travel up front for a 9" slick is very helpful to keep it stuck.

I'm not sure if it was your car or not, but on that video there's still a squack as the car launches.
Yes, it leaves and a couple feet out there's a chirp. That tells me either it unloaded or the track was not right. I think my car's front suspension is pretty loose, but I'm willing to buy some upper joints. Did you buy longer than OEM joints?

Do you measure travel by measuring from the fender lip to the ground static and then again just before the tires come off the ground?
