66 nova setup

[Novachris]

Jim,

I've got a 66 Nova, still using the monoleaf setup and a set of homemade Caltracs with adjustable Rancho's in the rear. The front suspension travel is limited with some fully adjustable Koni's that are set stiff on the rebound. I've gotten her to 60' in the 1.3's with 275/50-15 M/T radials at 18 psi. I still get a little bit of twist, but I have to replace or rebuild the front shocks since one needs some help first.

I'm getting ready for next year and was wondering what you and other people thought about rear sway bars for this type of setup. Is it worth it, or should I spend the time and energy elsewhere?

Here's a clip from behind last year. The launch isn't very exciting for spectators because all the energy is going into moving the car forward and not up.

Any help or advice is appreciated.

All the cars I have set up with Cal Tracs wouldn't twist at all and wouldn't think you would need a sway bar. But I think there is a few cars out there that have tried it, Don't know if it helped them at all.

I'll look over the setup on the Caltracs more thoroughly and won't bother with swaybar. Likely something's off from one side to the other and that would help explain it. Makes sense to me.

Thanks again.
