i have a single bar and set it up as high as it would go without hitting the rear valance of my camaro - it hits the bar hard and the front tires just touch down before the 60ft mark. i had to adjust the rod ends to stop "torq-steer". without the bar the car went dead straight, with the bar it would launch to the right. also i find that with the bar i lose 60ft to the tune of .10 at the top end. The car likes to be high and free during the launch, but after near scraping the top lip of the trunklid on the track for near 250 feet one of the last few times at the track, i have desided it is in the best interest of the sponsorship billboards mounted to the concrete sides of the track, that i run the bar from now on! i feel bad, i can not remeber the name of the fellow that makes the bar. i bought it used. it is a single bar setup that mounts to an aluminum plate that mounts between the diff cover and the housing so no welding is required. it is a vey cool piece and i recommend it to anyone. the fella i bought it from was an A/S camaro racer which said his car was hitting the bar so hard it would unload the wheels at the launch, with an automatic i can't believe you'd have an issue. Caltrac's bar actually puts more pressure on the rears the harder you launch, but you have to modify your trunk abit to make it work (other wise you may have a big dent in your trunk before you know it. Both good pieces, just my 2 pennies.
