Mark it's all bolt on so I don't forsee a problem. I believe your right on the gearing and the rear suspension being bound up (Tight) I truly wish I just had the factory rear arms with the factory springs at this point. Something is dead wrong.

Daran,
I'm not sure the front suspension pieces are legal, and they certainly are not necessary. I'd get a ruling, in writing, from NHRA tech. Actually, I just wouldn't buy them. If the cars can be made ot work well in Stock Eliminator without them, and they can, then there's no reason to buy them, that's money better spent elsewhere.

I'd be taking the shocks and springs off, and checking the suspension on both ends for binding, and correcting what I found. Then I'd look at the upper bar mounting locations on the rear housing, as you were talking about earlier. After that, I'd take the 2.75 low back out, swap to a 6.17 in the rear, and see about getting the stall speed up around 6200-6600.
