Not sure what to tell you, I think this is your only fix, unless you get into moving the lower arm on your z-bar closer to the frame (on the countershaft), but then this will throw your geometry off. I dont think you will lose much at all for strength. I would think you would be just fine. I suppose you could contact NHRA, I don't think I would talk to your track officials, if NHRA approves it, you would be fine. Or if you get it recertified, what can they say. You might have to recertify it over the winter anyhow. Make sure you are also using an adjustable pivot to keep everything OK. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
