I had a Random tech TA and a 6 pt rollbar when I went 1.50.

From what I have seen anything under a 1.5 will snap that RT torque arm or the tailshaft.



This should hold the 9's (with pwoeradder) I am going for next year and the 10's (all motor) this year

Cool man.

Good luck on the 10's. Maybe one day I will get a 10 second time slip with a F-Body Hot Rod also.

be sure to run your stock sway bar in the mean time, it does help... a little
