Build a motor and we can fight it out at the LS race in Atlanta if Comp ever decides to make my lifters.

Sounds good, the more I think about it the more I want to spray 350 on something. Might even try my wife's Explorer

His motor is built, he just has to let me know when he has the $ ready and wants me to deliver it

I don't think I can carry that weapon to the fight Ray is talking about. He will be running stock cubes, might be a little unfair. LOL....

To me, it looks like the drag bar needs a 1/4 turn of preload (make the passenger's side rod end longer) That should get the little bit of twist that's there out, once that's gone you won't get it a whole lot better, without weight loss or added power.

I was pretty pleased with her maiden voyage with the new bar. I have to admit I was a little nervous on the first hit, wasn't sure how close we had it based off the instructions.

Shoot me a PM with your specs: Which torque arm, control arms, tires, is it stock ride height, springs etc.. The more info the better.

Hurry up and get with me on that motor before it snows too many more times... ya may never hear from anyone in CT again, artic circle is shifting down about 1000 miles this way I think (in other words, hell really is freezing over

)
