I wonder when Kelly is going to pop in here to tell us about the new BMR half shafts and subframe.

We are working with someone on the halfshafts. They will be more catered to the "big" power crowd.

As for the subframe system - we have not even looked into it yet.

Our goals for December PRI is to have our entire new front subframe (think K-Member) system on the car, some IRS bushings, DS Loops, and some other super secret skwerl parts on it.

We will have the car on the side, with the parts on it.

By that time, of course, our other car (my personal car) will have those on, and abusing the shit out of them for testing.

I am very excited about this chassis.

Wondering how well the IRS is going to hold up with stock half shafts and drag radials...

Ship your car to me Kelly (in the spring/summer); I'll put it through its paces without a scratch... :)

If something is going to break, it will break in my hands. LOL

Saw the video from Ford Racing. Can't believe that they launch the little ecoboost that hard. Almost pulled the front tires off the ground.

OK, so explain to me what makes a relatively stock car, raise the front end like that...

Is it that the rear springs and shocks are super soft allowing maximum weight to shift to the rear, along with the torque of the rear wheels and traction, lifts the front end?

I always thought only super modded and powerful purpose drag cars could do that.

As a comparison, when I drag race, my car barely moves-body-wise. It may squat slightly, but not much.
Its pretty much flat...

WOW! Aneurysm in 3, 2, 1......

When people use different colored fonts and capitalize random words to emphasize their point, I have an overwhelming urge to leap through the screen and beat them to death.

Extreme? Maybe, but I can't explain it.
