CAL-TRAC'S - ANYONE USING THEM?
HI!... I was just wondering if there is anyone here on F-150 ONLINE using CAL-TRAC traction bars? I know a ton of the LIGHTNING guys are using them. For those who have got them installed on their truck, How do they fit? Did it help your 60foot times? Did it help your 1/4 mile times. Did it help with wheelhop? I'm curious because I am running 14.53 in the 1/4 mile right now and am looking for faster times. Right now I am consentrating on my short times. I am doing a 2.0 second 60 foot time currently and want to break into the 1.9-1.8 second range. I also get considerable wheelhop when the roads are slightl wet. If you can, what was the improvement in 60 foot times after the installation of the CAL-TRACS.
