    I assume its a 3-7 afco valving? All of your stuff sounds good just back off some of the RF to around a 350 or so. might just be what you need and set your shocks up like they should be run the chain and the other stuff people suggested and you should see a difference.

        Add bite, add rock up (turns in the LS), Add Tilt is a common change (Turns in LR, Turns out RF) Index LR Top rod on Birdcage is my favorite (down 1/2" down) Add LR Compression, Reduce Rebound, Drop RLB, Whatever you do don't do anything to hurt your entry people seem to overtighten the car and kill their entry at the same time so pick stuff that doesn't compromise your entry if you shear the front end getting into the corner in your hunt for drive off you won't have a good night. Let us know how it goes!

          You have your engine up way too high if it is 1" up from the mounts, I would put an all steel engine all the way down to start, and at the most 1/2" up if you need more transfer to rf.

          You should have a huge improvement by lowering the engine.
          How much lead on car and where exactly is it(height and location in ca)r?
