Nice job Don!
Let me get this straight.
Raceweight about 3600lbs
26" ET streets out back on a 16" rim.
Fabbed 9" w/ 3.73's (posi or spool?)
BMR trac pack
4l60E Yank SS4000
H/C Around 415 rwhp (Stang dyno)
Do you still have the front swaybar in?


Yeah I've been taking notes

What was your 60ft and launch technique? Car leaves nice and square, that's awesome. Love seeing those big ole 17's hanging.

Nice Don, The dark one must be playing with the red car, Did he remove the front springs. The car leaves really hard and runs great.
Maybe with the right driver it will even go some rounds.

BMR rear anti roll huh. Isn't it just a huge rear sway bar?

Thing is like $450, would just an upgraded rear swaybar work just as well for a couple hundred bucks, hotchkis, or whatever?

I don't even have a real tire on my car yet,but I do have upgraded LCA's (stock location) and a panhard. That bar really makes that much of a difference huh.

Oh Stock springs/shocks too right?

Nice straight launch! You can definiteley tell our anti-roll bar is working for you. Without it you would only be pickin up the one tire. What kind of ET's are you running?
