I went to the track yesterday looking for a NB but it didn't happen. The car was twisting so badly I just called it a day after 2 passes and went and watched the Bears get destroyed.

Results were 11.193 @119 1.48 sixty
11.103 @119 1.46 sixty

The stock bar is small and weak can't take a lot of mid 1.4's with out bending.

Well there are differnt types, but the ones im talking about are big ass sway bars with rod end links that you weld to the chassis and use poly bushings on the axle. Then there are anti roll bars wich get welded to the chassis and axle and have 0 play. Those are not street friendly

Whats funny is my car before the cage and drag bar would twist real bad with a 1.49 60' and felt violent. Now with the cage and drag bar it leaves level and smooth.
