Holy crap man! Cant believe you aren't breaking axles. When you hit second it looks like the wheels more forward three inches. I have some progressive metal bushings that fit into the factory crossmember. I'll ship them to you for free if you cover shipping. It essentially makes the OEM member like a traction bar. PM me.

I was glad to see an EF out there getting it!

I love it. Doesn't take a ton of power to go fast in a light car. Times should improve considerably with some better suspension.

138 mph trap from an ebay 50 trim. 380whp at 12 psi...

Sorry but something must have changed the car can't go that fast at 2200lbs with driver! Not hating, the numbers just don't add up.

The car is making 388 Whp (dynojet) and is 2125 ponds with driver! The setup is the exact same. We did however change from a baby 22 in slick to a 24.5 in slick and gained mph in the 1/8 and 1/4. Remember this car went 10.9 at IREV ON THE BRAKES lol with 22 in slicks and with much warmer weather. Being out at WCF we had the 24s on and were running in amazing DA's Every night, it makes sense to me. This little setup is amazing and was taking out setups with much more power, that's why I'm posting about it! We love the simple fast and effective setups!

My car makes 380 and traps 131-132 mph. 138 does seem a little high but the car is light and the air up there was COLD.

Yes when we trapped 138.8x the temp was 37* at time of the run. DA was negative.

The car went 10.6x at 137 Mph during that day at a +200 DA. The negative DA might have helped slightly but the car is still very capable lol. Definitely one of the fastest most effective setups I have ever witnessed. We will be going for low 10a in a couple weeks at the next T&t!!
