    The hot set up last year where I ran was a Afco 2 way with a 600/2000 progressive spring.

      What Pullbar?

      We used a 600-2000 progressive with a two way AFCO in our Shaw. Had good forward drive in slick.

                I may be wrong, but, I think that is intended to be humorous... I've never heard of a 4 biscuit bar, I have never seen a mount 14 inches above axle center line, and 42 inches long would put the front mount right in the center of the transmission.....

                  What pullbar?

                  Have used both biscuit and spring pullbars on same car with some what different results. The biscuit bar was good in tacky to normal tracks with bite becoming less as track dried, although we still were able to run okay. With the spring bar we were usually tight off the corners when tacky to regular tracks and still had really good bite when slick. As we mostly run slick we stayed on spring bar. Actually having both bars in trailer is good especially if its going to be tacky all night as it does some places.

                      OK, sounds like something new... I'm listening. Where is the front mount? At 42" it's got to be in font of the drive shaft yoke...

                        I'm guessing your not running the spacers between the biscuits? I'm listening also, new concepts is what makes racing. Thanks

                          The 3 bushing +1 for the brake has been around for awhile if its the small bushings your talking about,we used to use them on swingarm cars but it would tear the bushings up if you was on heavy tracks for a few nites.One other thing for all you folks going to try different springs remember the height that the pullbar is mounted on the rearend plays a big role in what spring you need,so if someone tells you they are running a 600-2000 12 inches up and your mounted 9 inches up its going to take a stiffer spring at least thats been the case with the ones i've tinkered with.
