I chose Landrum because at the time [around 2008] Clavert was saying in their ads for the split mono leaf that they mimicked the action of a parabolic mono leaf spring. And I had the opportunity to buy a set of Landrum parabolic mono leaf springs. Why not get the real thing instead of some thing that mimics it.
I do use Calvert bars along with Koni Double adjustable shocks. I don't have quite as much horsepower as your speaking of using. But I have run 6.31 in the 1/8 and a best 60' of 1.37 with a flat top 421 on pump gas with a little VP Octanium. the cam is a rather mild 260/268@.050 .675/.645 lift . The car was built as a 6.40 and slower bracket racer.
