Well our was our fault, we had no issues going a 1.2x short time, the track was fine, we had just pulled a little over 100 lbs out of the car so everything changed. The track was working fine if your car was set up to make use of it.

congrats on your 1.2x 60's. my car is mostly stock suspension for now so and only made 3 passes went from a 1.5x to a 1.8x and a 1.90 leaving on the 2step and t-brake. Are slicks more forgiving then a drag radial or am i wrong i'm no expert since never using a slick and this is by far the most powerful car I've driven and owned also only the 4th pass since the new found power.

slicks and radials require different set ups, with a slick you want to get up on the tire and actually use wheel spin to your advantage, A slick has to bite and dead hook, they don't recover like a slick does but will typically out MPH one all day. It's all about the track.

But making a car leave is 80% suspension, 20% tire. I've seen a mustang go 9's at orlando on a futura.

just do an anti roll bar and be done, no sense in wanting to upgrade again down the line.

Antiroll and a set of DA shocks if you plan on staying on radials. That track was tricky Sunday but still managed going 1.2x's on the old MT 275 radials.

Good deal, time for a real ARB. Don't waste your time with that under the axle junk at your power level.

Nothing is extreme about that bar except that they put the word extreme in the title. Like I said you will need a real ARB like what blacktransam posted.
