It won’t give an exact octane. It just says over 117 octane

Sky pilot stuff!

No that’s only 100LL now a days. The good old days was a different story.

I still can’t believe I paid this much for a sway bar link. But you pay get what you pay for. Much much better design for the 15in conversion.

What makes it better?

 

[jonx96]

What makes it better?

It hooks to the back of the toe arm giving more room for the 15 in wheel.

 

[Speedy!]

AAD parts are top notch. Parker doesn't cut corners.

Those Spheriflex Bushings are the shit, I see he put them on both sides. Nice piece Jon!

Do they have to be greased?

Do they have to be greased?

No

Not those. However, just this morning AAD and me have been trading some info. FYI- Occasionally the urethane bushings need some grease between the insert around the bolt and the bushing. NOT between the urethane and the arm.

I'm all stock back there.

Well spend some more cash and get with it! Stock hops if you really have a right foot!
You don’t think so? I’ll come down and destroy your stock rear end in about 100 yards or less.

You and @DGatzby do 2 different things. As far a drag racing mine was fine stock until I put a pulley on the car. Really bad wheel hop

With the AAD arms and bigger tires it leaves as smooth as silk. I will have my 2nd outing this weekend with them

Not really. The rear gets the same treatment IMO. What I discovered was two things, if that rear end is not aligned much like you guys do for drag racing, the traction won’t work right with the power we have and it will twitch left and right at WOT. That is a bitch over about 140 which you guys don’t see much. Second without that good square alignment on the rear, the tires would chew themselves on the edges also.

It's putting down around 800 +/- to the rear wheels. Car hooks, goes straight and is very consistent.

Mine did to every time until I added more power to it

 

[DGatzby]

Stock, both of mine hopped. The very first time I really nailed the ‘15 to time it, I think the entire back end hopped off the ground! I was amazed it was still rolling. I can still make one hop even with all the AAD items and cradle bushings installed.

Huge difference between trying to hook a 10.5 car and a 9.5(or faster). Sure many cars go without it. But it does help.

I'm right where I want to be. I just need to add a 10.0 tune. That's because there's either a 10.0 or a 10.5 class.
