NO hop stuff
I ordered a set of them from Jegs... [The original Lakewood "no hop" bars] When I got them, I almost had a coronary!! That's some of the NASTIEST quality I've ever seen in a aftermkt part!!
The "shoulders" that were to fit in where the bushings were, were so poor that they would NEVER have stayed in place, the finish looked like it was done w/ an axe... What a POS!! I sent them back and called the tech guys at JEGS.. He said "Good thing you didn't use them. ANY power over about 400 and they WILL break out the bolts,[puny little 5/16" crap] that keep them from rotating under load". He had tried a pair on a Monte w/ a SBC on NOS... threw them away after the 2nd rear axle hsg was torn up.
I also saw a set of EDELBROCK "no hops" @ the NMRA meet last yr.. NICE PARTS!!! Still no way to anchor them to keep from tearing the drilled holes out.
I get lo 1.40's w/ my CODY bars and drops and 3.5* pinion angle, HAL shocks on 4 clicks off soft and MT 10.5X28 slicks. 12psi leave. I just may turn up the wick a bit and see what happens to the 60' time.. may even get lucky and go a 12.0!!
I am going to try 1 of Mike Nelsons rear location plates and see if I can stand this barge on it's "stern".
3700# of dynamite, w/ a 1" fuse!!!
MIKEY, Are you listening???
