Thanks for the link! It's like the one I'm looking at but smaller. I kinda have my heart set on the spohn ar bar . They make a few versions for different rear ends, including the s60 . What are you running for rims/ tires? I would like to see some pics of your ride

I have the UMI bar on my Cutlass and I freaking LOVE it. Installed easy enough and my car launches straight and level. Sure, it's silly expensive for what it is, but it works. That hellwig bar looks a bit small, but I bet it works just as well.

Wow, that is one big, heavy and expensive bar. That bar definitely gets it done and UMI makes good stuff but remember that when it comes to sway bars, bigger is not always better. Choose carefully....For optimal street and track manners, the front and rear sway bars should be matched to the spring rate and shock dampening. My car is not drag only and was set up for ride and performance. Compared to the factory 442 suspension which wasn't too bad from the factory it handles like a slot car. I am using the 36mm F body bar on the front (direct swap) with Energy Suspension bushings and body mounts. Firm 442 springs with the Bilsteins you see in the pic and UMI upper and lower control arms front and back.....BTW Jimmy, the tires you see are Nitto drag radials on an extra set of SSIII 442 rims. They will rub the frame if I corner hard but other than that fit well. Not the stickiest tire but it hooks hard at the track if you heat them up. At the moment, my car has an Oldsmobile small block that I built 20 years ago. It runs high 12's. I'll post some pics when I make some progress on my L92 swap coming soon.

The hellwig bar is actually around the same size as the spohn pro touring bar . At 1/2 the price. I was thinking I wanted a drag bar but my car sees way more street use than drag racing .

Trans was running a little hot with current trans cooler. Swapped to a tru cool 45k cooler . This thing is huge!. Trans never goes over 140 now . Might be a little too big . I will have to wait for next summer to really try it out..

Derale and others make a transmission cooler thermostat. It is added in-line, and keeps the temp at 180

jimmyg

I saw you had a tci ez shift and now use the us shift box? what do you prefer, got an impressions/opinions on them? i think i'm looking for a standalone for mine when i get it going, right now i was planning on using the pcm for the engine and trans

jimmyg

I first used the tci and had problems with it, turns out it was a combo of the harness being mislabeled, and a faulty epc soliniod. i later sold it and bought the us shift quick 4 controller because it offers way more control and came with tuning software so you can tune it with a laptop. you can go on their site and check out the tuning software.one thing i did like about the tci was there was a switch for the tcc. you could turn the tcc on and off when ever you wanted. with the quick 4 you can tailor the shift strategy any way you want and store 4 different tunes.

I see your tire expenditures increasing dramatically this year jimmyg.

jimmyg

Thanks I've always wanted a supercharger. Shooting for 600 rwhp @ 10lbs boost.i bought the hotrod kit so there are still a few things to buy, heat exchanger, Injectors, new accesory brackets, methanol kit etc...not really worried about putting the power to the ground yet lol I drive this car on weekends in the summer. I like going sideways

jimmyg

I wonder if the front wheels will come off the ground with some sticky tires lol
