It seems to have really helped rearend rotation and the car squirts forward rather than lifting, separating, and then moving forward. I may still install some mono-leafs depending on how well it 60 ft.'s at the track.
Installed Cal-Trac style bars..

I run a full Calvert setup on my dart. Works really good after I got it dialed. That car is a bit nose heavy so it was a process to get it hooking. The bars ride like **** on the street though if you leave em tight. From experience BOX THE SPING PERCHES!! They will bend if they are stock. Don't ask how I know...

I preloaded the drivers side slightly and left a small gap on the passenger side. Doesn't seem to ride bad at all...
Did you install in the top or bottom hole?

I run mine in the bottom and set them at 3 flats preload with someone in the car the same weight as me. Usually does 1.44-1.45 60's. every car is different though. The roads are so bad around my house I air gap them on the street...

That's exactly what mine did. They should warn you of that when you buy the bars..

Mine has heavy duty aftermarket perches that were welded on by my chassis guy. He didn't think I need to box them but we shall see!
So far I'm loving the way it drives and launches!

I had a set "in stock" for 10 years,stock OEM. So a little reinforcement should do the trick...........................I hope

Are those SFI Certified/NHRA tech legal ?
I've had them bitch about diameter of the 2 U Bolts,
I could imagine some wouldn't like those, no fail safe...
Just curious

Well I'll have to be honest. Never been questioned about u bolt diameter. Length yes especially if they do not pertrude past the nut so far same as lug nuts and wheel studs. So I called and asked and got the same response from smith racecraft never heard of it being an issue. ???
