Even with all you have done I'm surprised by how much weigth you managed to get off the car. Your down in FFR and all billet aluminum Kirkham territory now. Very surprising considering how robust the frame and body are on the ERA. Sorry, I'm abosolutely of no help on your questions.

On your transmision height I think I would measure your U-joint angles before getting too concerned. I had my tailshaft sitting at 3-3/4 inches per Bob/Doug and due to some interference betwwen the shift boot/transmission lever/tunnel they recommended I raise it some more to resolve the issue. They sent a 5/8 inch spacer for the mount but I only used about another 1/4 to 3/8 inch movement to clear things up. With my tunnel in place I can't check my angles right now but ERA didn't seem to believe it would cause any problem.
