".810 MP drag bars in my small block A-body, 3100lbs., that sees street time, and has 600 hp on tap, and then add the nitrous. They are not strong enough, and have too much stored energy, especially for a ladder bar car at this power level"

Moparbilly I have been using MP drag bars purchased from Mancini racing for the past 12 years .BB B Body 3550 lbs. mid 9 sec car with ladder bars.
Maybe I am just lucky but have had No problem holding cars front up to whatever height you adjust them to! Weight transfer seems good.
How would I know if they have too much stored energy?

Dam that thing looks good. What rear suspension are you using? Not to hijack the thread lo5l.

36" ladder bar, 130 lb springs, Koni rear/Afco front, doubles.
