    What kind of traction aids do you run (bars,rails etc.) to stop axle hop? Got posi installed this past weekend and broke the tires loose and I skipped my way down the road. Yep, left two nice dotted lines down the road. So just wondering what some of you run if you've had this problem...Zed

    most people are running the cal-trac bars on their set-ups.
    I am fabbing up a custom set of ladder bars right now, I will post pics later.

    What kind of power are you making? If your near stock you might just need to experiment with air pressures. Road pavement type and smoothness make a big differance. I find that soft rubber compound tires are very helpfull but they'll wearout fast on the street. I run 28#'s in rear tires unless it's loaded.

    Not much right now only stock w/ exhaust and headers. Just got cam in today nothing fancy just a stock crate motor cam #0965 I picked up on ebay. I did hit a patch in the road and that seem to set it off. Once it started hoppin it didn't stop till i let off about 75 to a 100yds later. This was just on a back road testing the new posi I installed. Tires are Pirelli Scorpions 245/70/16's. Hoping to put cam in this weekend if all goes well, then headed to Nelsons for a tune!!!
