lol those pics are epic man! love them,

and i may be wrong here, but i thought you wanted the car to come up a litle bit to get optimal weight transfer over the rear tires?

You want the front end to come up but you don't want to have the front tires leave the ground. If they do, once those front tires hit the ground again that is more wasted energy that slows you down. The goal is to get the front end to come up enough for traction and to allow the car to launch straight and then smoothly bring the front end back down so that aerodynamics are not affected.

Think about it, how many cars do you see in the NHRA doing the 7 sec runs have the front wheels really leave the ground?

tim lynch runs in the 6's and pulls the wheels past the 1/8th most of the time.
Im just being a dick but having them come up a few inchs on the initial launch is really not that big of a deal as long as your not getting out of it and having it crash down. Long as it comes down smooth with power its not affecting anything at 40mph
