Lift bars

I searched and I didn't see too much on them so I was wondering if they will really help my launch and are they easy to put on. I'm looking for something more than the SFCs and the torque arm. I just got a panhard rod from edelbrock and that will be going on shortly. But in the mean time, are lift bars worth putting on and how do you install them?

Re: Lift bars

No, those are an old technology which is better left for '70s Novas and Chevelles IIRC.
Use LCA's and LCA relocation brackets and call it good. Save your money from buying a panhard bar, which won't add anything to your launch.

Re: Lift bars

what lift bars? the lakewood ones? they are technically supposed to eliminate the torque arm. They are limited in their design and people tend to break them. A good torque arm setup is far superior
