If your going to drag it, Caltracs work.
For pulling I think you need a longer
set of bars.

Here you go an east coast truck w/ caltracs. He pulled 321.xx, only reason he stopped was blew an intercooler boot.

We have used them for 4 years, never hop. (well, almost never)
The last 2 years, we were very competitive in 2.6 class.
