Looking for thoughts on solid pullbar length on a 3 link modified with 602 crate on a fast 1/4 mile track. I started last season with the long bar that mounts to the driveshaft hoop (34" tube length plus joints). I switched to the short pullbar with more angle because I felt that with a limited motor setup, it would be benefitial to get as much instant initial bite as soon as possible in the corner.
Chassis builder told me I needed to run the long bar, which would then allow me to run softer front springs as well. I asked "WHY" and it was mainly because that is what everyone else is doing.
I am looking for some solid reasoning of which one would be better for my situation. There is a rule that states the bar must be centered over the driveshaft with a maximum of 1" to the left or right.
