I'm glad to have you waving the Mopar flag Kevin. I think it is just awesome how well that Taxi runs. Will you ever give up what you're running suspension wise? And are you planning to put a 6.4 in it?
Mopar to the bone!!!

No reason to switch from torsion bars and leaf springs. The feedback from the Tire Rack test driver will second my opinion, more on that in the video when it's released.
Maybe... we'll see what happens this winter. It's coming back in the spring with more power and less weight for sure. Probably running a 295 all the way around as well.

What I meant was give up the specs lol. I have no intentions of giving up my stock suspension format either. And I also wanna come back next spring with more power and less weight and try to make it to the Goodguys show in Loveland CO. I am just curious what T-bars you are using as Im sure the rest is Hotchkis. You alignment specs would be cool to know as well, if that is proprietary info I understand.

I've had a couple people ask about all the specs. I'll try to start a new topic with the details. Nothing secret, that's for sure.

Would you consider your Hawk pads as track only application and would use a different set of pads in town cruising and leave the Hawks for the high speed driving events at the tracks?
I just leave them on and have no problems in town. If you are anal about your wheels you will want to change them out.
If you do change them, change pads and rotors as a set. I believe Hawk has some details on their site about pads needing time to bed themselves into the rotors.

The Viper on 11.75 front system works pretty well when coupled with DoctorDiff's rear disc brake setup. The brake bias should be fairly decent for a B-body car also.
One thing that would've made that kit even better is if I'd had gone ahead and tooled up a 1.25 thick version of the 11.75 rotor. Then there would've been more rotor mass and we could've eliminated the pad spacers. But there wasn't enough money in the tooling budget to do that.
Cass has developed some additional options over the past few years. He was even exploring the possibility of a low cost "Viper" clone caliper which would be much less expensive.
FYI I'm using the 73 C-Body rotor/spindle and Viper calipers and it's 1 1/4" thick. Works good no spacers required. Currently using EBC yellow stuff pads up front and what ever Cass provided with his rear disc kit. I'm going to change out the rear pads to "yellow stuff" pad as well because when the pads get hot the rear pads do not work so well and when cold visa versa.( not a good match!  )

Nope, still 1.06 this year. Couple things didn't get done as planned.
