Hey Brian, how much for a set? Also, I still have a set of ur save ur *** bars that I bought when you first made them, but still haven't gotten a kmember. Any chance you could make a set to use with a stock kmember that I could pick up off ya and throw on there till I get one?

Does this sound right because its the only thing I can think of why the car is spinning when it comes down. The car is just coming up too easy on the nitrous on my best pass to date I launched the car it came up about 2 feet when it came down the tires spun so i let out and then pegged it again and the front came up about 4-8" and when it came down from that hieght it didnt spin and I just stayed in it the whole run. Basically I want to know what you all think I should do and If the limiters and wheelie bars are the way to go whose should I go with? Im going with a billingsley fab rear and will have him weld the wheelie bar brackets on the rear. Any pics would also help alot. Thanks guys

How do you have a 10 bolt in this car? I was thinking of going with aftermarket axels and a spool but everyone says the ring gear wont hold in a 10 bolt. I have a 12 bolt with 33 spline axels and a eaton posi and I dont think it's gonna hold up to 5800 clutch dumps. I also have a 10 bolt that I snapped a axel on and would be a good rear to put a spool into but with spray I will be around 650+ rwhp and over 700rwtq.

You can also get a set of "Save Your ***" bars for the front for insurance.
Yeah madman like others have asked how much are those things? I just saw them on nexts' photo updates page and i was thinking to myself "Why the **** hasn't anyone thought of THAT earlier"..... I gotta hand it to you man you do come up with some cool ****.... Soon as I find out i'ma get on the phone and give you a call.....

Also is the price for a manual rack on your website still an accurate price??? I'm gonna be getting one of those for my slow LT1

Sounds like a GP for Madmans SYAB's? I'd be in, not sure I need them yet, but I know it'll only take one time hooking on the 28's/transbrake/300shot and the front will be a hurtin!

The SYABs run $99.99 plus freight. If you need them call Thunder racing and ask for me.

No man they don't weld on, you remove the back bolt of your K member and they have like a cup they your k member sits in on the front, and he sends a hose clamp to hold it on, doesn't seem like it would work well, but works fine takes about 10 minutes to put on, they come un painted, so i took and sanded, primed and painted mine

I didnt see the reason to paint them for the simple reason they are an expendable item. kinda like tires.

**** even better!!!! Glad I don't have to get someone to weld them on then!!!! Screw the paint madman, we don't care. just keep making parts to save oil pans and headers and we'll be happy.... Now if you can make something that will take scrape marks out of rear bumpers we'll all be happy... Or license plates that fold in two and then unfold when you're done with your wheelstand that'd also be great....
