    Ford Fever Classic @ MDIR 11OCT15

    I attended MDIR's Ford Fever Classic on Sunday; no new PB but I had fun. To date, I've only run test & tune - paying little attention to R/T. Inexperience aside, I managed to make it into the 2nd round of eliminations where I broke out (ran a 12.40 on a 12.41 dial-in). DA was approx +800 for...

    ARB differences - help me understand

    When I think S197-specific ARB's for drag racing, I think of TRZ arb/panhard bar combo, or BMR extreme I saw a thread on classracer.com that mentioned a Spohn Performance drag arb for an F-body, that to my eyes looks similar to the Whiteline sway bar for S197's. Ignoring the adjustment holes...
