on the wheelie bar to long

Carlos, I think you will get used to it and it won't bother you. When I had my 383" LT1 foot brake bracket engine in mine it often shifted in the air, well past 60'. I have VHT on the rear pan below my license tag, not paint. Best it went was 9.89, 9.90, 9.91, etc at 135/136. 1.32 60' was pretty average, it never set the front tires down by the 60' mark. Since your 60' was a little slower I'm thinking your front end was probably up higher at the 60' beam, and it was catching your car somewhere along rocker panel further back, which would make it look a couple hundredths slower in 60'. If your front tires are very far off the ground they don't break the 60' beam, your car will trip it further back. After you get used to it you will think it's a blast.

Good luck, Ed
