anti sway bar just locks the right side to the left. keeps the car flat no matter what. you can find pics of them in summit and stuff like that.
lol sorry tirefryin.

Here is a little video of it from last night, car spun pretty hard but still managed a 10.40@135 on 14 psi and straight pump gas. The car in the near lane is a friend of mine His posi crapped the bed as can be seen but the car is a R block 306 with a novi 1000 blower and a 150 hit and has been 10.3 so we are generally a good race.

Neil, you have more than enough MPH to go 9's. why do you think it's not 60 footing like it should?

It really needs adjustable uppers not to mention the track conditions seem to vary run to run like one run I can leave at say 6psi and 3400 rpm the next run I try that and it spins HARD or I leave at more boost and it blows the tires off so I back it down some and then it leaves like a slug.

I will get it figured yet.
