i love hearing dumb replys like this. you see one or two pictures on the internet with over 50K registered fbody enthusiasts and you make this sweeping generalization.

i have the trak pak. i go 1.4 60' times on radials. i am happy.

i'll post a picture of what i have left. i threw the big half away. tiny bars + bad welding (to many amps)= broke torque arm, aluminum 3.5 inch driveshaft, and yoke off my 9 inch.

i now have a spohn and just the weight it has compared to the BMR must mean something.

unlike some, i DO NOT POST unless i've had PERSONAL experiance with things

if you lose nearly 1k in parts and the company prettymuch tells you to shove it, we know you would feel the same way

With those kind of 60 foot times I guess I will be looking for one, I have lots of mods but the torque arm has not yet made the budget.
