Default FTP Traction Bars are FTW

Through the winter I was looking into getting a set of traction bars for my car. I looked at a couple different places and had my heart set on a different company until I read a post Aaron made about the FTP bars. After reading Aarons review that he posted over the winter this year I decided it was time to get some traction bars from FTP. After seeing the great review Aaron gave I knew they where good bars because of the testing Realtune does before they say something works. Last year my best 60 foot was a 1.77 in my 60 trim SRT. I was able to cut better 60 foots in some other peoples car but mine. I got a set of the traction bars and read the install instructions in the FTP section. Took me less than 30 minutes to install which included jacking the car up. First time out at the track this year I was able to cut a personal best in my car of a 1.69 and 2 1.70. I had no worse than a 1.8 all day which was on a pass I had the 2 step to high and blew the slicks off the line. These tractions bars helped me to a 1.70 60 foot on my 10.97@130.52 pass. Keep in mind people this is on STOCK STRUTS with crappy Tein S-Tech springs. I am going to be picking a set of coilovers up real soon and heading back to the track. With the coilovers and some 26 inch slicks instead of my 24 inch slicks this car will be a mid 1.6 60 foot car no doubt. Not only did these help with launching the car but I feel the car going much straighter down the highway also. Last year at 430whp/427tq the car liked to dance side to side on the highway. Now with 483whp/493tq and a 7,000 RPM limit the car goes much straighter down the road. For the price of these bars they are a must for any car looking to drag race. FTP TRACTIONS BARS FTMFW!

I will prob be picking up a set of these in the near future! I was very impressed when I rode down the track with you how straight the car was, and how much better it hooked figuring that you have a ton more power than last year!
