Magnum Force complaint - I hate to Say This (I really don't)

Nice with some tuning they make some big power. I have a friend that blue one up in a boat
Yes. The marine market was his primary customers. The "Eagle" motor was first designed as a possible new generation of race motor. But because the big 3 were not embracing multi valve designs. Both Nascar and NHRA disqualified the design for class competition. So marine racing was the market. It turns out motor boat racing is even tougher on motors due to the vibration stresses.

Are you running computerless ?
 
@retroron ....is this issue resolved yet?
I found a parts supplier other than MF bought the parts and rebuilt the damaged portion of my front suspension. So it's resolved although maybe not in the manner you thought. And for my troubles I received this at the GoodGuys West Coast Nationals

I'm making this a sticky thread for now - anyone else want to share their experiences?
Thread title altered to let everyone see this complaint.
This sounds really bad.
Well a few years back when I was working at a hotrod shop in Colorado Springs, a gentleman had their tubular upper control arms on his 70 GTX, went through two sets of them before but a pair of QA1s, pulling into a driveway in a parking lot the passenger side control are broke at the welds. He rolled in and parked it. Next time he was backing out of his driveway going to a cars and coffee and his driver’s side arm broke and again.. at the welds. But this time was worse... because he was backing out of his driveway the car dropped and damaged the lower front part of the fender. He came to our shop for body repair and new control arms installed. Will never use or recommend them.
 
So far, I've modified stock stuff for drag racing but not so much where it breaks. How do ya figure that out? Don't go nuts with it. Been into the 9's with stock front unmodified parts....once with my car and another with a buds car and it doesn't cost big bucks. The aftermarket stuff looks cool and pretty but unless I'm building it, I'm not gonna run it.
 
My advise is "stay away". Not their fault the sway bar disconnected but to refuse to help and to deny that they supplied the parts is beyond belief. I didn't ask for free parts, didn't accuse them of being responsible, just asked for help. Their attitude was "F" you. And wasn't nickel and dime money, I dripped about $9600 with them.

Drag race suspensions don`t have sway bars , eliminates that problem for me -lol.

An update, for everyone. Last week (10/20/22) the sway bar torque link slid off the tubular sway bar splined end and wiped out the left tie rod and associated hardware. Luckily I was only going 15 MPH at the time. Clearly the design needs modification. When I get all the pieces together and the sway bar reassembled I'm going to weld a capture nut into the sway bar so that the torque link can't slip off the tubular sway bar.
