camaroracer, sorry for the delay,if you are using only leaf springs(stocker), then it will raise the IC higher in the car. If you are SS, then you are probably using leaf spring floaters and 3 link, and you can make the necessary adjustments with the bars. And don't forget, class cars can move /add a lot of weight around, there's nothing like couple hundred pounds in trunk to get the front off the ground! Joe.

Mr. Gould, I'd love to talk to you sometime. My grandfather has some Corvairs and some spare engines, and I've been wondering what can be done to give them a little more oomph. And how in the world do you get a factory manual transaxle to stand up to a wheelie???

I'm a little confused. Why do you want big air? I thought the best launch was to get the car moving forward and not waisting Hp pushing the car up to the sky.
