Lookin good. I've got a bar I picked up used that the guy I got it off of said it was someone local. Works pretty well so far but you have to weld in tabs, so it wouldn't be good for you.

Cause and effect. Those 60 foot times are quick, but...what were they the day before you added the bar and the day after? Just a thought.

For stock eliminator - yes a big bar is ok. I believe adjustable LCA's are a no-no even if they are set at stock length. Not sure how a tech guy can justify that if an adjustable panhard bar is ok.

My car has 60 footed 1.48 with the stock sway bar ,but it twisted real bad so I put the big bar on and now its gone 1.50.

I'm hoping low 1.40's when its all said and done.

I noticed you run stock any pics of your car?

No launch pics or anything yet. It's a black B4C car. We ran a 71 340 Demon in SE for about 15 years and sold it last year. It was a 1.4x 60 foot car that ran a best of 11.20's in kill mode for heads up runs. Got tired of paying an arm and a leg for worn out parts and switched over to these F body cars. The carb alone for a 71 340 averaged $200 in junkyard condition...if you got lucky enough to find one. It is so nice being able to go online or to the local GM dealer and buy stuff for these F bodies. We're praying this Camaro runs high 10's once we get all the "tune" business squared away. I'm still learning how the tables are related and how the car best responds to which changes.
