While all the stuff was out of the way and the car was up in the air I decided to go ahead and put my cross member in for the torque arm. A comparison picture below shows the Spohn Pro Series beside the stock torque arm. Also the guy came and put deposit on my manual trans stuff so I took it all out.

I was to cheap at the time to buy any upgraded suspension or drivetrain so I never could launch at a high enough rpm to get right into boostbasically the turbo would not spool till 330' at least. Martin @ Tick was there he can vouch I back half in the 1/8 nearly a 104mph. 8.0 on time lol lol. I tried leaving at 3300rpm with a 2step and broke driver axle. Parked it and started the rebuild of entire car. Link to new build in sigs above. Signature does not show up when I'm posting from mobile like this
