I personally dont think Bill's converter is working properly to be honest. it doesnt seem like it responds like it should. my TB converter had more punch then his yank does. but when he gets his 3800 PI those bars should really make a difference

Thanks for the compliments. This thread is just to see what the interest might be. After we get these things on the track and confirm what they should do I'll have to become a site sponsor. I don't want to step on anyone's toes, so we're keeping pricing and allot about the shop hush hush for now. If any mods see this do me a favor and PM me info about being a site sponsor.

With a truck I would think you'd want all the antisquat you can get.

I made a few assumptions on some dimensions though. Also I assumed the CG for a truck at 26" since most cars are around 22-24". Long bars on top & caltracs on the bottom.
Are you sure those instant centers are correct?
