post up lots of burnout and launch vids.

Are you running any other bars like the kars kit or the Bmr kit ?

Or is it going to be axle only ?

I'll be running it with Kars which killed the wheelhop on my street tires but not on my track tires.

The writeup I do will not include any technical install stuff but will have pics/videos/VERY thorough details about how the axle performs.

I'll see what I can do. If my work schedule allows for it I'm going to try and get to the strip both Saturday and Sunday. If I can I'll take off the Kars kit for Sunday. The Saturday day is as much for me breaking into the 12's (hopefully mid) as it is for testing the axle (first drag passes on the juice). Killing 2 birds with one stone.

gotcha, wasnt trying to bust your *****, just wanna see the benefit of the axle not other components you know, many claim the kars kit eliminates all or just about all hop so we wouldnt know which was doing the work(axle or kars)

I can tell you right now that on my Bridgestone RE960AS Pole Positions the Kars eliminates it all, however on my Bridgestone RE01Rs it does not. I know you weren't busting my *****, and I really am going to try and do the most thorough testing possible for Hendrix and you guys.

Im thinking of ordering a set of spector bushings, but now am wondering If I should just spend the extra cash on these axles.




I have a kars repilca bar, worked great when i was stock. Now with a cam and headers hop is back....

NICE I really hope you get a chance to take off the kars kit and try just the axle.

Come on now, Test and Tune is tomorrow from 4-9 CST. I'll post vids and results Sunday morning, unless Purdue loses, in which case the party will not be as big so you may get them Saturday night!
