Herb McCandless would be a great source of information on leaf spring technology.
Also, remember the Chrysler Leaf Link used on Ray Whinery's Dart? Last edited by Frank Castros; 03-17-2020 at 06:58 PM. |

The dakota uses the old superstock springs and calvert bars. The debate over launcher springs with calvert bars versus the calvert mono leafs with calvert bars might be a interesting one. The green challenger with a stick is a little indifferent re the mono leafs. Maybe its more of a plus for an auto. Eric

I seriously doubt anyone who's observed your Dakota's launch would suggest there's much room for marked improvement, LOL! My E/SA Duster consistently 60fts 1.38-1.39 with Greg's Tri-City Competition Launchers no bars, no snubber, old 5 way Rancho's...

Gregg's Launchers and John's Mono leafs both work great!
On our 2400LB. Bracket car (Hot Rod Project Feather Duster) we even run Calvert Mono leafs with No bars....Works great with several track championship!
