ok i just did another run and put some timing back in since it seems me i am getting a false reading i am not sure but i think the supercharger is causing it but i am also getting the fuel much better it seems to pull hard in third gear and i am sure it would continue in forth but i am already going over the legal speed limit

Thank you Rickady88GT i hope it is informative to everyone as i learn things and have questions like right now i am trying to figure out my knock sensor setting on the megasquirt 3 as i want them working but i am getting false readings in fact i data logged some just sitting in the garage in neutral and if shows noise and the second you rev it it is showing knock i have turned the gain way down played with the frequency now am starting to play with the sample time to see if i can get this to work as i feel this would be a good thing to have working right

Heck, my STOCK one's like that. Thought it was par for the course for 30-year-old short wheelbase RWD cars

i had a 85 with a 88 rear cradle in it and a 3.4 dohc and it was not like this and the car was not like this until added the supercharger and i had this combo without the supercharger in my 88 GT T Top and it did not act like this but this is scary the way it is moving around i am not sure if it is the links running forward or if the cradle is flexing but i am going to X brace the cradle i hope it solves the problem

Sounds like you need rod end lateral links if you don't have them already.

ok i can build those as my buddys speed shop is out front of my shop that i rent off him and he has 1/2 -5/8 rod ends along with radius rod as i built these for my motion simulator and i used the QA1 ends

Ok today I took the car over to the shop and tightened all the lateral link bolt as tight as i could , then i X braced the bottom of the cradle but before i was done welding i ran out of welding gas so now i need some more welding gas so i can finish that up . when i drove it home but not pushing it hard it felt tighter in the backend but i really won't know until i really stand on it.
