Truck scared the shit out of me at the top end of the track It must of caught a crosswind or something but damn at 112 mph it rocked like a boat and moved around on me I am glad I was across the line bc I was scared about wrecking amd was able to slow down.

Stealth 70 Turbo
Vortec Heads
422 Cam
Built Bottom End

There is a lot more in the truck with Proper Boost Control and a better set of wheel/tire combo for better traction off the line.

Anybody else ever experience what I am talking about the car rocking at high speeds?

Yup, my Ty started doing it 70, sometime it was really bad. New shocks fixed that problem.

Re: New Best

I ran mine at about 125mph ( whatever speed is right before the speed limiter ) for about 10-15 miles and didn't notice anything, so no I have no idea.

Re: New Best

I put KYB Monomax Shocks on it about 3-4 years ago.

Good times

About your problem yes new shocks may fix it but have U checked the aligment? and the status on your buchings in the front lately??

If these are worn,bad,loose a side wind or a irregularity in the track could do BIG changes in high speed..

Even check tire pressure. ive exeriensed something like that when I raced and my rear tires had to low pressure, I was all over the track at the end.. and I was going 115 then.
