.....unless you need a car that goes deep into the 10's or faster and also corners with the kids in the back seat eating ice cream with the dvd's playing for them with the a/c cranking.

Ice cream in the car is out of the question, but the availability of hydraulic roller cams, stroker kits, and great aftermarket heads give us the power. Caltracs with split monoleafs, great shocks, Firmfeel's swaybars, upper control arms and power steering box mods, US Cartool subframe connectors and modern tire technology(like 325/ 50 15 Nitto 555r's) that provides mind-boggling traction; give us control of the road AND the ability to launch. Don't forget to add Perfect fit Vintage Air A/C with a hidden compressor kit from Bouchillion, a few bulk packs of well placed Dynamat Extreme and cocoon up the rest of the interior with rolls of The Insultor Mat from AirCraft Spruce and some aluminum tape.

These days we can have our cake and eat it too, ala-mode if you like.

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?

I am kinda following what Rick E. did with the 69 Road Runner in Mopar Action. The car runs 11 second 1/4 mile times turns and stops well.

Im currently digging through my old issues and ordering up the ones I am missing. Go online at mopar action and some of the info is there.

Like has been said before its all a compromise. With the current motor technology out there among other things having a car that does most of the above is possible.....unless you need a car that goes deep into the 10's or faster and also corners with the kids in the back seat eating ice cream with the dvd's playing for them with the a/c cranking.

I think there's a Cadillac that can do that...

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.

That 1.03" is a pretty stiff T-bar so the front won't rise much at all, but it should handle corners and dips well

73Cuda340 – Having a Hemi in your Cuda is really sweet! Obviously however you decide to build the car is up to you, but as TC pointed out…building a car with better manners on the street makes for a car is so much more fun to drive. We get lots of coverage of our customer cars on the autocross track, but mostly because that’s a good way to demonstrate how well the cars handle. In reality, 90% of our customers don’t ever turn a wheel in anger, they simply want their car to have better road manners on the street. Our system improves overall feel and control without a punishing ride. So the next time you hop out of your modern daily driver and into your Mopar muscle car, you get modern handling with the power and sound we all love.

Would the strut rods have any noticeable affect on a car that's mainly street driven?
