It's the same PN as the GMT900. I contacted Calvert Racing and they confirmed.

If you order off a dealer from ebay (yes, they're legit including honoring warranties) make sure you specify the 2-hole link. Apparently, they send the 3-hole link by default for all trucks.

Your overload spring looks like it is touching the bar. I would clamp it up where it isnt touching or some just chop it off.

I plan on chopping. I imagine a Sawzall will work for that?

14.691 @ 99.65 is my best. ET & speed is fairly consistent.

Isn't the stock tune governed to 100mph?
