BMR Extreme here. You will see big gains in your sixty foot times if you get that body roll gone.

nice pics in this thread. how many birdies did you count before you hit the ground

isn't a drag bar the same thing as an anti roll bar? it seems in this thread they have 2 different purposes.

The car cut 1.46 twisting in that picture so you thinking low 1.4's that would be sweet.

You're in the Chicago area it looks like... SpeedInc. can get you our ARB and they're in Schaumburg. Also Byunspeed is having a sale right now on our ARB's. Just an FYI.

Without doing an at the track swap it would be hard to say what you will gain. A couple of 1/100's for sure. The bigest gain will be that the car will go straight and repeat. Great sixty foot times come a little bit at a time. My car only makes about 400 rwhp, but my best sixty foot time is a 1.31 @ 3030 lbs.

mine didn't really change. It became much more consistant though. I also twisted all the left wheel studs a few times before the bar. Haven't hurt one since

My goal is to cut a 1.39 sixty my car makes about 460 rwhp but it also weighs 3550 with me. I don't know if 1.3's are possible at that weight and hp but I want to get as close as I can to that.

I really don't see why it can't be done.

Well I want to do it with the 4.10 gears I'm running. I don't mind getting the converter restalled a little higher but I don't want to run more gear it still see's a lot of street use.

I leave off the footbrake converter is a Circle D 4000 and it hits like a damn sledge hammer. I'm very happy with the Circle D converter.

Jeff

make plans now to hit GLD with us next Sunday

new cam
drag bar
good air

I see a new best 60ft, ET and MPH in your future

This is all weather permitting of course since we could be snowed in here by then. We never know around here in Chicago.
