Anyone ever use these. They claim 1/2 to 2 tenths reduction in 60' times. The kit restricts backward movement of the shackle for better launch.When I called they were out of them until another run. They also offer removable (with pins) export braces with attached monte carlo bar.

That sounds great for the track but bad for the street. Do they suggest that it is a track only setup?

www.mpgheads.comNo picture of the shackle eliminator kit but a description of what it does. They do show their export brace and monte carlo bar.

According to MPG it keeps the shackle from going backward. This keeps the arch in the spring and helps plant both tires equally. They say they are fine for street use.Unfortunately they are out of them until they make a new run in about a month or I would try them this year. I did order their export brace and monte carlo bar. I'll let you know how it fits.
