What shocks and springs are you running.

Correct, stock springs with the heater hose mod, and Comp 3 way drag shocks.

Dude that is impressive as hell and gives me a lot of inspiration! I have the same set up as you, all MidWest under the car with stock rear springs and comp 3 ways. I got so much crap from people on here and a certain sponsor as well for going with the comp 3 ways out back, due to my budget. Thats just awesome that you are cutting a 1.3 60' with that set up. Best I have gotten so far has been a couple of 1.46's before the sway bar was installed, but I'm just cam, stall, and spray.

To the OP, I have the same set up as Broke EF and love the MidWest drag bar. I have not yet been to the track with it, but even driving around town I can tell a huge difference in how stiff the car seems. It is also the lightest drag bar out there, although thats not a bad place to have some weight.

We cut a 1.37 the first time out, and have not adjusted anything, and were only running the little 76 on 9 psi. Once we get the converter right, the car all tuned, more boost, and actually get it dialed in it should be better.

I have strange single adjustable coilovers on front, with the midwest front end kit, spindles ect. It seems to be working very very well, as my combo is nothing to crazy.

It's a good sturdy piece, as well. We use it on virtually every car we build, with the exception of customer supplied sway bars. Let me know when you're ready, and we can get this thing out to you.

Thanks!

I can also get rid of the drag bags in the springs if I run a Anti Roll Bar compared to the stock style sway bar?

The wolfe will clear any exhaust unless you have it running under the rear.

Negative...dumped. does this fit with a stock 98 fuel tank? I'm guessing it welds in between the frame rails? I'm just looking for a better idea of how it all comes together befor I drop almost 400 bucks.

The tabs weld onto the rear frame rails, and the rest welds onto the rear underneath the pumpkin.

If I had a picture of my car it would probably clear it all up. Only thing I can suggest with the wolfe bar is reinforce the tabs on the frame rails a little bit if possible just to make sure they stay put.

With a dumped duwl setup, you aren't going to have any issues. Wolfe bar has been on TONS of fast cars, fwiw and it works 100%

I had the wolfe on an old back bracked moser 9'' housing I had. JL pretty much hit the nail on the head. I like the MWC piece as well as they have a bolt on version. If you want to cruise around on the streets you can unbolt it.

I went with the Burkhart ARB. For the price and quality it was hard to beat. Simple to install also.
