I think hellfire had this same effect? I think it may have been cured by changing the set up. They have a BEC though.

How about mounting your front number plate a bit lower so as to reduce the amount of airflow under the car(splitter effect)

Make sure the rear ride height is ~15mm higher than front, will help with stability at speed.

Well

Conrod, Just curious if you made a ride hieight change and if it made a difference. I hade a fellow in the shop a couple days ago who used to race a caterin van and he talked about front end lift at speed too.
