I have uploaded a couple of videos of my car launching...I am looking for ideas on what I need to do.

Current set up 12 bolt rear out of a 70 chevelle..3.31 posi Iceman adj uppers and soild lowers....Iceman anit roll bar and stock rear springs & stock cheapie shocks.. car 60fts 1.65-1.67 na and on a 150 shot if it hooks been a best of 1.52.. any other info ask away...front end is stock springs with comp eng 3 way adj set at 90-10
I installed umi lower relocation brackets in the sec video..seems my 60' feel off .01-.02 but all other numbers are good! to me pass side of car is dipping hardand drivers side is separating at wheel...if need i have a few other videos before that are lighter.

i'm no expert, and maybe someone with more experience can chime in...but it should be set up with you sitting in the driver's seat, and of course, with the weight of the car on the suspension.

Looks like it still needs adjusting. Still doing the "Twist & Dance". Air Bag in passenger side spring may help also.
Looked a little less stable after Brackets.
