I can't see how you could justify the expense on anything except a leading pro stocker. Maybe someone will make up a ghetto version out of some
carbon fishing rods? Or maybe the high tech composite of electrical conduit!!

Apparently quite a few teams are starting to use them in pro stock and even ADRL Outlaw 10.5 (titan I think). 60% lighter than chomoly wheelie bars,
anyone have a clue what they weigh?

STOCK , the bill has been paid and the price was good . The quality was fantastic and the workmanshp and service was surperb . I can'twait to finish
the car and and show off the interior as it really finishes off the car . As for a set of carbon wheelie bars , I am looking into a lighter set with
only a single lower bar , ROD.
More boost + More fuel = More power
