I'm runnin a 350 with a abby HUFFER. They say around 350-400hp, but I have'nt dyno ran it yet. Bags hold up fine. The four link would be even better IMO, but the standard trailing arms work just fine too.

Actually I was thinking that bag all the way around on a drag truck. raise the front and drop the back leaving around 2" of suspension travel in back. As long as the bumper didn't drag this should plant the rear tires harder, putting the weight on the rear tires right from the line.

Any thoughts on this?
