Nice bracket car you got there! Can you post some photos of your bar location.

I too have a 9” rear in my 92. But never ran it yet with the 383 ProCharger.

Thanks,
Steve

Thanks for the photo! I understand all cars are different-But my bars are set-up similar. From my limited experience, my car drives nicer (on the street) when the bars are parallel.

Enjoy you racing season!

Awesome work!!

Its nice to read a thread about someone building something cool and enjoying their car instead of all the "my C4 is broke, and I don't know what I'm doing" threads.
