If Billy says the Chicken can pull the train, hitch him up. I have messed with 4 link, 3 link, leaf, torsion bar and combination's of them for 40 years in drag and circle track applications. The math works. The problem most have is not taking everything into consideration. Getting anti squat is very simple. You just have to know if you want separation or rebound or a neutral setting. Note, you have a setting for both sides. Things that work with it get a little complex. Things like center of gravity location and it's relationship to power at the rear wheels and traction. Things like how much weight is carried on the bars and how much is supported by the spring. You will always have both. As there are many ways to skin a cat, some set ups seem way off from others but still work. When you get down to specifics they all prove true in math. The difference shows up when you have to make small changes to compensate for rough track conditions. You probably seen the bump that upsets the traction. How far out the IC is often makes it easier or harder to shift weight to the spring/shock package. General rule is, smooth track more on the bar and rough more on the spring. This seldom happens much with Drag racing now days. Anti roll bars pretty much cover equal contact pressure but I like to weight, preload or jack weight, then use ARB as back up. Something goes agaist the grain when you have two things working against each other.
This all being said, there are far more important areas that effect how your car works. The prime one is balance of COG-Power- Traction. If you get these right, it makes everything else so simple.
