Traction Test Take 2 - Trying to Tame the Torque of a Big Block #torque

Traction test take 2.... trying to tame the torque of a big block. Well, as you saw in the last video I had no luck getting my 1968 Ford Thunderbird to hook or go straight. After much feedback, research, and suspension tweaking, I decided to go back to Cuba and try again. For a heavy street car, this thing is fast, but in order to go fast I need traction... spinning isn't winning! This isn't a muscle car, but I have done quite a bit to it over the last two years to behave like one. The 521 cubic inch big block Ford puts out a lot of horsepower and torque, combine that with a 4500 RPM stall converter and 4.30 gears... well the tires like to go up in smoke and it just wants to do a 300 foot burnout. So let's see what happens this time with 60 foot testing..... wish me luck!
