Hey 2stroke do you run subframe connectors on your car? I think I saw studderin say they were a waste if I remember correctly. I imagine your car is pretty stiff with your drag bar and cage installed, right?

Exactly. Pointless at this point. Just added weight.

I got that same rear axle. I was wondering if you had any problems with the panhard bar hitting that cover you got. Looks great. Nice build!!!

I did last year. Was running out of gear a bit before the 1320' trapping 134-135.
Changing gears this year.

Launch rpm's Depends on traction. Keep going up till it won't hook!

My VFN extended Sunoco pin-on hood came in today.
Still gotta do some trimming, figure out how I'm going to cut it to get air in
And get the Zeus rails installed. Just sat in on today to see what it looked like.
