Personally, I'd just add weight to the front of the car or gear it down. I was going to gear my 3.3 Jato down some to keep the wheelies more at-bay and maybe get the top end a bit better.

besides - didnt you just put that engine in that car not too long ago?

I thought about weighing the front down,but then more stress on the everything.Gearing,i have so many different combinations,my goodness,for gearing what would you suggest,so far a tried a 20 bell 48 factory spur,16 bell/58-18/58-16/53 i think,18/53 maybe 23/something but then the pitches may change,you know what i mean? It's like huh,***.lol you know.Cause i to would like more top end,i agree with both of ya's,so for gearing.Next ratio.I'll try it and be sure to let you'll know,cause right now any and all suggestions are appreciated.
