FC and FD both suck.
The IRS becomes a handicap with high power levels.
The FC does camber in pretty badly with lots of squat, which implies the FD rear should do better for traction.

FD's have a stifffer chassis then FC's
I'm my opinion that is the best chassis if your building a street drag car
to race in the NHRA or Nopi "street" class
I have cut 1.48 60' on near stock suspension/chassis (only had KYB AGX's in the rear)
on my FC
car squats like crazy
(working on stiffening my suspension and chassis now)
Ari and Karl martin have run low (Ari 9.1 1/4 mile) to mid 9's(Karl Martin) on stock tranny and IRS
faster then any FB has with a TII tranny
