what do mean? as in gettin them dialed in on your car? you need to work with your whole chassis setup and get them dialed in accordingly to the car. as far if you were looking where you could get a setup, ken's kustom chassis.

setting up the wheelie bar is nothing. figuring out how to make it down the track is the hard part.

The reason I posted this....my outlaw car is almost done.....the car will make close to 900+ its made 810 but we've changed the setup. It will b on 24.5s. So after the car gets set up and it starts running some numbers. I plan on having the option of running a bar and my fiberglass doors just for tnt nights and grudge races. Has anyone done this... bottom line I want to run in the 8s on small tires....bar or not.

If your setting up a car to run with out the bars then the rear suspension might not work to good with the bars on. Usually you want a stiff rear without the bars and a pretty soft rear with the bars. So you might have to change a few things to make them work. Or find the happy medium that will do both setups justice. Just my opinion.
