Just reduce any body flex....not sure if that could hurt a 60' or not. I have none and don't plan on getting any anytime soon.

My 12 bolt stiffened up the rear end of the car believe it or not.....speed bumps there is no shake/flex anymore.

Check out his power level BOS. SFC's are just dead weight at that point.

I don't think you'll gain any time in the 1/4, but your car will feel assloads better around turns and stuff. If your car made alot more power and you were launching on slicks, the n it might make a difference in your 60'. But even with the minimal time gains, its still one of the best mods I've done.

Peace,
Josh

I did them back in the day because the first time i launched the car on some borrowed et streets the car twisted so bad the t tops started leaking and stuff.

they are a good piece of mind, will help keep the car from turning into an out of shape pretzel. anyone drag racing one of these cars should have them IMO.

No ET gain but the first mod that should be done to these cars,you will see what I mean after 1 drive with them installed.
