Is there any rule that says a mopar cant put in a longer leaf spring?
the shorter leaf was an advantage back in the day

Here I am.......When guys say they need a lot of travel to work, they're talking about the typical car out at the track that doesn't have near that kind of power and I'm sure is heavier in the front than that car (no radiator)........   plus, I'm certain, track conditions were really good when he ran that number.........If he were running on the typical weekend bracket race track he'd need more travel to get it off the starting line too.......
Like mentioned, there are FAST cars going 9's now without Caltracs......
If you can't handle the truth, you're living a lie.......

you put enough controllable HP to any kind of suspension you can go fast. I think the F.A.S.T. cars have proved that.
Bingo!

While technically that is a "leaf spring" car, it's far from a stock suspention. As mentioned the FAST guys are in the 9's w/ SS Springs.
would you rather see more 4 bar mustangs?
