Hmmm, What is your theory on this?

As well if your going for drag then you want 16" rims and 255/60R16 hoosiers or other drag radials.

How does the STB help us launch?

You can probably add a torque brace to that list. it will help eliminate wheel hop, which helps in drag racing.

Also, after talking to some SRT-4 guys, the control arm bushings made a huge difference for them.

The strut bar will help keep the front from flexing and reduse aljinment changes.

As for the TB after the mods I have plained I will not need one. I will only use it as a last resort.

As for the 16s im not going for all out drag. So I want to see what I can do with the 18s befor I move on to 16s and DRs. I will need to replace my clutch first as well. The stocker cant hold this kind of power with that kind of tracktion.

Oh and sway bars are for cornering not draging.

AS for the sportlines lowering to far. The problem is the angle if the half shafts. With that much drop and DRs the half shafts will brake vary easy. And with an over sized RD the tire may not have enuff clearance to turn and for the suspension to compres with out dameging the body work.

Sorry to veer off-topic, but seriously, have you ever thought of using a spell checker or a dictionary before posting?? Your grammatical errors really discredit what you say, and it really bothers me. In the future please try to re-read your posts for spelling errors.

Thanks

Sorry about that. I dont have a spell check on this computer at the moment. Im dyslexic and I have been trying to improve this problem. My typeing skills are not as good as some as well. I do make mistakes from time to time in that maner as well.
You should read some of the posts I made 3 years ago on clubcav.com. There realy bad.
For more infomation on this topic please visit www.dyslexic.com.

I do my best but I understand that some times it can be hard for some one that dosnt have this problem to see and read my posts.

I was also in a vary bad car wreck in 2000 that has permanently afected my memery.
This just componds the problem.

If you had talked to the doctors after the crash you would be vary impresed at my recovery as they told my family that I may be mentaly disabled for the rest of my life.

I made a 98% recovery! That last 2% is my memery problem. I can go in to more detail with you on Aim coversation if you would like.

And Im always open to any help any one can give me ot this subject. My AIM is Badmunky 97.

As soon as I get every thing fixed on this computer I will try to find a spell check program and install it.
The one I had was lost in one of the last crashes I had.
I think I finaly fixed the problem so it should be good now.

Later man.
