i was wonder how bad it would be to make a few shake down passes without a rear sway bar or drag bar?


the setup is a th400, 9 inch, qa1 single adj, adj lca's, adj panhard rod, sbc, adj relocated torque arm, built motor, 200 shot, weld's with 325 d/r's....


the car hasn't been to the track on it's current setup and i want to get some shake down passes made but haven't had the time or $$ to put the bar on. would it be ok? or should i wait?

 

I wouldnt do it mang.wait and get a bar in there and make a pass.not safe IMO.

 

If you hook and pull the wheels at all it'll put you right in the wall.
Not a good idea.

 

Put the stock bar on.

 

I would at the VERY least run the stock bar. Having no rear swaybar is not going to help anything.....

 

do you think that would at least be enough so it would be safe? that was the issue i was worried about, and i won't have the cash for a drag bar till next week.

 

I almost put her in the wall more than once with the stock swaybar making less power than your 200 shot is going to make.
IMO no it's not safe. If your suspension is set up and it it lifts the front so you can't steer you'll be in the wall with that stock piece. JMHO.

 

Not safe in my opinion...........

 

I agree. Miss a week of racing and do it right.

 

i call shocks when your parting it out

 

i call wheels hahaha and lca's hahaha...

just wait and do it right, thats what i would do imho

 

Car in my sig has been 136mph with no rear sway bar spinning though.

Weld in bar is going in before it goes to the track hooking.

Get a good bar and do it right.
