the wolfe swaybar is fine on the street as long as you don't try to "carve" corners when it's hooked up. also, you can unhook the swaybar on the street.(and when it's unhooked it isn't that bad really)

Thanks for the responses guys, I'm going to get a swaybar. I'm going to see a chassis guy on mon-tues and I'm going to ask him about the corner scales. This guy was watching my run when I got outta shape so he knows what the car is doing so I'll see what he says.

with the swaybar and adjustable rear shocks once he gets it on the scales he should be able to get you taken care of easily. good luck, and let us know how it works out.

Mark... posi/spool/locker?

The Spohn drag bar is a bolt-in, and has some give in it. The Wolfe and the Billingsley are fully welded. It's like driving a car with ladder bars around.

Those are really Anti-roll bars and not sway-bars correct?

I know WS6TransAm01 has a sway bar which is a direct replacement.
But that photo above is an Anti-roll bar.

Actually, Tektrans, my car is going to the right, right at the launch myself.
I was/am looking into an Anti-Roll bar myself.
I heard they are hell on the street though?

Well, swaybars are actually "anti-sway bars". I'd always referred to a roll bar as part of a roll cage, (which is something else entirely as I'm sure you know)

On the street, just disconnect the passenger side endlink and you will be fine. Otherwise my Wolfe bar is pretty noisy.

hehe, I just realized I'm frustrating John . I'm sorry.
You wanna know what parts specifically in the rear. Truth is I have no idea. I got this rear probably around, ****, 6+ years ago. Me and a few guys from Cartek got them around the same time. All I ever knew about it was it was a Moser 12 bolt w/ 33 spline axles if I remember correctly and I ordered mine with 4:10 gears.
Thing has whined like an old lady since day one. I've had the gears changed from 4:10's to 3:42's and back to 4:10's. Gears always looked good when they came out, I even re installed the old 4:10's when I got rid of the nitrous.

The car isn't exactly comfortable with the racing seats and doesn't handle that well with no sway bar and skinnies so if I went with the fully welded bar it wouldn't be that bad since I only really drive the car to the track and back and to the shop etc. But I'm not really sure I'm making enough power to really need the welded bar anyway, maybe the Spohn is all I really need.
But if the Spohn doesn't totally fix my problem, that would suck.

What about the BMR Drag Bar?


I have the Suspention Teqhniques 25mm Solid rear sway bar, the car leaves strait as. I'm sure, Anonymous can atest too. But once agian, I only make 507.9 RWHP LOL

The BMR drag bar pictured is like the Spohn drag bar. The Wolfe bar is welded on all four points, and the BMR and the Spohn ones have 2 rigid parts and two parts that use poly bushings.

That BMR piece looks pretty stout.
"Only 507........, .9"??, that's 47.9 more than I made.
but my torque peaked at just under 580 ft lbs!!

John, Does that BMR or Spohn set up work well?
I have mostly BMR parts on my car and would like to stick with BMR if it works?
How are these type on the street? That is probably more of a concern to me than Tektrans?
Maybe, Tektrans and I can get them together?

Thanks

PS. WS6TransAm01 does leave straight, only diff is he has a 6-speed we have Autos.

How about the rear alignment? Adj panhard? If the rear is off center that could be causing the issue. Is the car lowered in the rear?

Unless you are planning to make a major HP change a bolt in sway bar would be good enough (The bigger the better). With the age of your rear I would take a look at the posi. How much pressure did you have in the rear tires?

I have the Spohn drag bar, car leaves dead straight, have gone 1.35.

tektrans

iTrader: (23)

I have an adjustable panhard bar, the rear is centered. The car is not lowered. I'm not sure about the alignment, I'm gonna get it checked but the car goes pretty straight on the street.

tektrans

iTrader: (23)

I'm gonna see about the posi, I had 14 lbs in the ET drags. It pulls to the right on the MT Drag radials also but not as bad and I run about 21 lbs in the DR's.

The BMR looks good, I'll definately consider it. I'm going to see Leo from Neverlift on Monday, I know he makes a weld in like the Wolfe and he's seen the car launch so I'll see what he's got to say. Any significant weight difference between the bolt in and the weld in?

PSJ- 1.35 is Awesome, I hope I can get close to that when I get this worked out.
