Re: Wheelie bar? Calvert vs ken keir
I have the Ken Keir bar, and ditto what was said below. I have a F/CM 350/ 330 crate combo that I believe hits the tire harder than the natural 350 NHRA stockers, so I opted for his larger diameter stick-combo bar setup. I was considering the Calvert option as well. it is also a clean looking add on and seems to work well on their Tbolt, but when I made my decision I hadn't seen either with my own eyes.
If replacing my current set up I would call Ken again, but both companies were great to deal with while I was trying to make my original decision.
