I had a Hotchkiss STB a few years ago, and it only SOTP helped in corners... I don't see how it would help with dragracing and I ditched it because I could not reach the plugs and it was weight.

I pull mine off at the track, it's just weight on the front of the car.

It's just weight right where you don't want it....at the front of the car.

Its not a lot though, I would say less than 10 pounds...I can't really think of how heavy it was when I put it on...... <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Is a STB good for drag racing or is it just unnecessary weight?
