I just updated my bushing material to 80a and it seems to be the best. It's is listed as being the strongest type A material

80a was what I ran too. I see no reason to run anything less as there were no side affects and it actually held up to the abuse I gave it.

I may as well pick up some 80a and put it on, while it's still off of the car.

 

[joshcarp81]

thanks for the heads up guys. I'll snag up some of the 80a.

If anyone is looking for one of these, I will be selling one in the next couple days. PM if interested

I'm interested in buying one of these now or if another run is produced in the future. I'm new to the site and apparently cannot PM anyone yet.

I have a dumb question , does the tribar have to be bushed with such material or can it be solid mount ???

The bushings absorb the shock of the torque hit, thus saving the crank snout from torque twist. The bigger the blower, the harder the hit.

^^^ Wondering solid and let the belt absorb it . With big blowers is it worse for bushings (whipping effect ) torque once the rotation catches up to rpm at hit ? The bushing is hard ( solid ) juz about , is it aiding really different then let the belt absorb it ? I'm thinkin it would be less torque on snout if we eliminate bushings .

With solid bushings the threads on the tribar take the brunt and will strip

This is my personal feeling as well.

Not a guess, this is what happens.

This wasn't mine but I can confirm what's happens

I don't doubt it as several people went from replacing bushings to breaking lowers once the bushing material got to hard.

I personally feel that the harder bushing material like the 80 will cause this to happen as well because I ve seen it happen before. Unfortunately there hasn't been enough test data to say for sure it causes failure.

 

[rymax101]

I'm running the 80a successfully. Been running it for a while on a 2.3

Understand, maybe a billet splined drive with arp center bolt , reengineer the tri bar to disk to use metco lowers ???

 

[my92gt]

cj428mach I sent you a pm.

I have a caged 2lb lower if anyone is interested? Never used, been sitting. PM me if interested.
