im sory mate but there is a difference between why yok drivers take BD over LCG and thats torque steer and chassis balance! i just put 3800's in mine and to get the ride height the same right to left i had to wind the left side shock collars about two extra turns over my 33's! and i bet if you put 7turns in the 2 cars side by side you'll see which one accelerates in a straight line and puts the power down properly!

mod went unlimited last year here in the UK and i don't think a single national round was won by a shaft drive car and not many made the A. compared to 12t the year before it's a big difference. but hey i run stock and 19t so it don't bother me
