Chromoly?
Just curious?
PS - Fix your CC machine already!

I'm figuring that my converter is a little tighter then his I think (5000 compared to teh 5500 I think he's running) so I'm thinking about a 75 HP loss on the dyno.
But, we don't race dyno's do we
Back to that bar.. madman, should I even be concerned about wheelstanding to the point that I'll need them, or am I not making enough power to do that? Rather be safe then sorry.

we cracked the pan and crushed the headrer tubes on a h/c car w/ 100 shot last weekend. So it might not be a bad idea to spend the $100!

He's already responded to your question, they are $100.00 a set. They mount to the manual rack.

As a repeat buyer and "user", I can tell you they work as planned, though, if you put it on the bumper or close to and have your wheels turned like a dumbass like I did on one run, you will shitcan your at least one of your front fenders, both inner and outer...but not a scratch on my oilpan, transpan, headers, or mufflers. Take care. Dave

Madmans bars are worth the money, and take all of 3 minutes to install.

Actaully I was going to go take a look at the car but then I remembered the motor is out of the car so it wouldn't have mattered.

I can only hope that I don't lose that much, your #'s make me think that maybe I won't which would make me a happy.. I''m just planning for the worst I guess.
No way to get these on a stock k member is there...or is the stock K gonna take the shot so I don't have to worry about it (as much)
