Mark, Mark, Mark.................

First hidden fuel cells and now welded traction devices..........

Remember when it used to be testing and gaining knowledge.......

Now it's wheelie bars, 4 links and a line of credit............

When will it end.......

Yes to both questions.

Just read the older post on this subject. And from what I gather from the NHRA tech's comments something like this would be acceptable in a stocker. Ohhhhhh!!! this is one of those insane Camaros allowed to run stock. A tab welded to the housing is acceptable???

Maybe the rules have changed since I did my Firebird but I would say the stuff shown on here is illegal. My understanding is the anti-roll bar must be bolted on to the factory holes in the subframe along with a clamp around the rear housing. Welding of tabs and such is illegal.

I used the bolt on Spohn performance one and it works great and legal. Like I said, maybe the rules have changed but it was fairly clear then....

It's just how you interrupt you the rulebook (in an attempt to take full advantage of the rules) and tech personal that don't know or enforce the rules. The rule book is vague and unclear on a lot of its content. When you try to get clarification and call divisional techs in the country and get different answers depending on who answers the phone. So this is the end result.

Wow ! What else can you weld in, in Stock now?
Ladder bars? 4 links?

[SSDiv6]

That last picture must be of a COPO Camaro since it appears to also have a Ford 9" rear end. The COPO's do have a 4-Link.

Unless those tech guys rewrote their posts they seemed to all have agreed they did not like what they saw. Like I said before you the time and mo ey to put this in ask them directly

I agree,i just put a real fat sway bar on mine and it worked great. Real simple and the car left nice and square

I have not been able to get a positive answer on this from NHRA.. So I am going to put a regular sway bar in it. I know thats legal. LOL Thanks for trying to help me guys.
