Default Thanks to Jay Billingsly!

I want to say thanks to Jay for comming through at the last minute for me and getting my new chassis components. The Billingsly sway bar is of excelent quality and craftsmanship. The Wolfe T/A he provided me with has the best fit form and function of any T/A I have used or seen. The before and after pics speak for themselves! Now we will lean a little bit harder on the Red Rocket in Texas and see what she's really got.

This is my launch on a complete custom T/A and sway bar from Nebraska Chassis:



This is my launch on the new set up as prescribed by Billingsly:



I still have to figure out how to install the Wolfe travel limiters but the car leaves and drives like a champ. I will post some detailed before and after pics soon.

Tom

Now that looks much better Tom. Not that I didn't like seeing the underside of your car while standing to the side of it when you launched at Bowling Green

No question about it, Jay and Amber are two of the most out going people I've had the pleasure of doing business with. They go to great lengths to take care of us that's for sure!

Yes, that was at the Clash of the Titans Tuner Shootout. Jay was calling me right up to the final hour when we left for the trip to make sure everything was installed and set up for a good baseline.

I have the ARE sheetmetal valve covers.
