Re: Front End Suspension, NHRA Rule Question
To each his own, I'm in this to compete not to try to reinvent the wheel, spending years trying to build a better mouse trap while my life and another season passes me by.
Keep in mind also that with the best working stock eliminator cars, it's not what you see but what you don't see that sets them apart. The devil is in the details and sometimes illegal or at the very least gray. Anyway, good luck on your endeavor. Last edited by 1320racer; 09-13-2013 at 10:42 AM. |

Re: Front End Suspension, NHRA Rule Question
For the A body gm cars you will want to talk to Alf, his stuff got my car leaving so hard it uncovered some "weak links" and starting causing damage because of a fuel bog...He helped out with a fix for that too!

Re: Front End Suspension, NHRA Rule Question
The stuff from Alf front and back are hands down the best pieces you can buy and use for an Abody GM. Everybody with an Abody drag car uses these pieces.
If you are on a budget for the rear suspension, an Anti Roll bar from BMR or H&R, along with adjustable upper arms and no hop bars with multi mounting positions is the way to go. For the front, del alum bushings with the extended length upper balljoints is the way to go. Alf sells a kit with all that stuff, and controll arm shafts that works great.

I agree that if you are down horsepower,the best suspension in the world will not suddenly pick you up a half of a second. |

Re: Front End Suspension, NHRA Rule Question
that comment had nothing to do with HP and I agree, "everybody" with an A body drag car does not use Alf's stuff.

Re: Front End Suspension, NHRA Rule Question
I miswrote that, I should have wrote that something to the effect of " The high HP and serious no holes barred race cars have that in them. Not the budget minded cars

Re: Front End Suspension, NHRA Rule Question
Hasn't there been more than one thread on Alf and when racers try to get ahold of him he seems to be out of business? Please correct me if I'm wrong. But thats the sense I get.
