Trying to post new pic, not up yet. Tires, suck, I run about 40#'s hot. Running the OE but push and understeer. Will post pic of my body roll on a tight 45mph turn, about 4". truck is lowered with little stiffer springs & shocks in front, stock rr. I think it handles pretty bad comparatively, but still obviously needs work. I have stiffer shocks & springs for the front yet to bolt on. My urethane bushings didn't add much, need more bar. Its a pretty hot group we have here, and like I said I am comparing this to my last truck which had more work, and really flew. Of course it handles great for its size, but I want to pass all but the fastest trailered race cars. I have my 305/335 Hoosiers on 18's that I ran on the Lightning, but think they will look even lamer on these bigger wheelwells. What a group we had there this weekend, I didn't see the Ford GT return, but there was the trailered new race prepped Z06, an M5, a 6.3 AMG, along with the usual suspects. Missed a shift down for the first time, 5th to 2nd doing about 80, locked up the rear end and rotated 90 degrees, then went off track. Have that on my rear facing video camera. Shifter is much improved but still notchy. I put M1 ATF in before the race and now I can get in R in the morning.Kevan said:Droptail- What tires are you running? What PSI? I haven't had any problems with the Scorpions, but I'm always looking for improvements.
I'll post a pic of my in-cab camera mount. That should give you some ideas for the next time.
Sure is nice to see a pic of the truck turning.

I mounted it in the bed using existing nutserts in the rail and Al "L" channel for risers and crossbed piece. Tech didn't seem to have a prob with it, (and marveled at my beast prepairing to do battle). Nobody expects to seen that beautiful power plant when I open the hood, its got to be the biggest surpriser of all time. Mount worked great, need to raise it to look forward, didn't have the time to make a pedastol, but will have it for next season. I'll see about putting up an edited video, its not something I'm proud of, its the first spinout in 5 yrs for me.
