Ladder Bar Car: Trans Brake or Foot Brake?

Bill, you'd be suprised how many of the really good leaving ,quick cars in SS are on the foot brake. ....Many of these cars are faster on the foot because of converter flash and chassis hit. ....Mostly it comes down to driving style, which do you feel more comfortable with on the tree. ........I agree with Jeff, I'd go with Afco shocks,their valving selection is great for drag applications. .....An 11.5x32 is'nt available from Phoenix anymore,but the 12.2x31.25 still is @about a 100" rollout.......This used to be a real popular tire for medium HP SS cars a few years back, but lost favor when the radials took over. still a good choice for running the car in "bracket" mode......... ...Tom
