WOW!Lakewood RCA work

At first I was sceptical about all those "traction aid" products from lakewood. However 6 months ago I had a 305(crossfire...stock;165hp) and now I have a fresh 350 with about 350+ estimated horsepower.

My point is that when I tried to powerbrake and see at what rpm my tires would start to get loose(stall speed), the rear end lifted a bit and after 2 seconds the tires started spinning.
HOWEVER that was with the stock control arms. Yesterday I installed the Lakewood RCA (20140) and I tried the same stall test. THe rear end went up and literally after over 4+ seconds the tires started to loose traction slightly.

Remember this is with a warm 350...So my verdict is that the Lakewood traction bars, and (energy suspension torque arm bushing) give amazing traction improvements.
Man I cant wait till spring to try my beast out at the track,

yeah lower control arms and relocation brackets were very worthy mods ones of the first people should get aside from subframe connectors.
