I just got my GC to Speedinc, for 350 from the GF. My bro gave me $100 to spend on whatever.
Soooooo.........Do I get the UMI Drag bar, or a N2o plate kit???
I like running NA and would like to get the most out of the car before I spray it, but this is a great deal on the kit and bigger savings at the moment.
Lets hear what you think?

It would probably be on the car within hours of receiving it. Testing in the snow covered streets. lol

you wont be disappointed either way. Get the N2O kit if you want a great SOTP feeling....or get the drag/anti-roll bar if you want to launch straight. I'd personally get the BMR version of the bar but that's brand loyalty and a local vendor for me. Both vendors seem to produce great products.

My votes for the bar. Get the suspension finished so itll hook right when the N20 is on there. My vision on it is it doesnt matter how much power u have if u cant hook up at the track.

i think everybody needs to remember who we're talking about here,,its MIKIE remember,,he's gonna get both no matter which is first,,so the kit represents the biggest money savings for him right now so its the obvious choice,,strictly financial

Ill have the bar b4 spring no matter what. Its just so tempting to by the kit now, and its a better deal.

Outcast,
I have about 50/50 BMR/UMI parts. I just buy wich I feel is the better pc for the money. Like UMIs K-members and TA relocation kits are better IMO. The rest I dont think you could go wrong with either company

Save more money and buy the kit now. You will have them both for the race season anyway. Have fun on the juice!

The car is garaged for the next few months anyways, so it not like Ill be able to use either one for a minute.
The kit will also require a bunch of extra stuff to do it right.
The kit will give me something to work on this winter and the drag bar will take like 10 minutes, then the fun is over untill spring.

I would buy the kit.


But that is just the way I ride. A kit was on my car before the manifolds even came off.

Everyone freaks out about suspension parts. What were we doing before all these suspension items were created? We added tire removed sway bar and lit it up! So, knowing AC has quite a bit of suspension parts on his clean ass formula the car is going to hook, i have hooked with stock suspension,tire and 150 out the gate! Besides the car is in HIBERNATION mode so there is plenty time to get the bar who knows the bar may be on sale again later just as the plate system is now!!!
GET THE SPRAY READY MIKE:devil::hail:

Good call.

You can have all the power in the world, but what good is it if you can't get the power to the ground.
