Do not run bolt on ladder bars. They will put your suspension in a bind situation. If you are looking for traction either get no hop bars or lift bars.

The Performer works fine on mild 400,s. When dragstrip testing I went quicker in a 79 TA with a 400 and 2.73 gears going to a performer over stock manifold.
