I'm not looking at building an autocross car. I would much rather have it be able to launch better than to take corners faster. I just was looking to improve on the handling a little but wasn't sure if it would be a big difference with the torsion bars added. Would this hurt alot of the cars ability to transfer weight or would it only be a small difference?
IMO, build it to be better mannered on the street than the strip. Will it imapcts its ability to transfer weight, yes. What will the impact be, maybe 2 or 3/10 of a second. We aren't talking huge differences here. Most street strip cars are far from having the ultimate drag strip suspension anyway, so giving up a couple more tenths for a safer street vehicle is no big deal. On top of that, you are likely running it as a bracket car. In this case, consistantcy is far more important the ultimate e.t. The firmer street suspension will be more consistent run after run compared to an all out drag set up.
I'm not running it as a bracket car, just something that I can have fun with on the street and still put down some good times at the strip. The main reason Im so concerned about hurting the cars traction is because I have a 528 hemi in the car; so I can use every bit of help in the traction department.
