Drag Racing Tech - BMR crossmember review.

I installed the BMR crossmember tonite and I like it overall BUT the damn adjustments cant be used w/ stock T/A and long tubes/y-pipe.You must use the top holes,which are about were the stock T/A is in height.An aftermarket T/A will let you have more room for adjustments BUT not all will be able to be used.It should be advertised for duels or no exhaust.

Positives
1.NO added vibration or roadnoise
2.when the clutch chatters it does not shake the car near as bad
3.fit and lined up nice.
4.feels as tho the car hits harder/hooks better
5.trans doesn't bang the floor on takeoff and shifting.
negatives
1.you can't use all the adj holes
2.I don't care for the heavy slotting of the holes,could be cleaner for $250
3.top 2 bolts/nuts were a nitemare to start and tighten,even with the crossmember hanging down.

I bought the Yank version and I hoping for good results also. There is no adjustments but ive had the best luck with the stock TA in the stock position. I ran a Random tech TA and ended up putting a stock TA back on.

Thats just what I wanted to hear, I have duals and was hoping it would work out well :)

Installed mine last week. As stated fitment is good. Clearance w/LT's/3"X-pipe setup is good. Did seem like the tires hit harder at the track last weekend. Not used to a dead hook(car bogged), so I think I'll be able to leave harder.

I'm using the full length BMR bar that has -2*(for pinion angle)built in. I used the factory adjustment on the TA mount, and the PA is pretty close. Found that loosening/tightening the mounting bolts on the BMR unit is much easier than the stock clamshell. Overall, I'm happy with the results.

Installed the Wolfe(end link'd)rear drag bar yesterday(getting the end link tabs welded in proper location sucked).... goin' to the track today. Hoping to better my 60' #'s by .2 with this combo.
