ctrow Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 I saw this in the back of the July 2003 Truck Trend. There's a company offering dealer warrantied packages for superchargers, etc. My interest were the torsion bar adjusters that do not change spring rate. It does it by changing the position of the octagon so it lowers it 2" but keeps the same rate. http://dyno-proven.com/index.htm Probably expensive as a hell but it does come with a 4 year warranty though.

BigTex Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 Physically loosening the bolts on the torsion bars or changing the keys is the same thing. If you can get a 2" drop (or raise it 2") with the adjuster bolts on the bars, its the same pressure as having a different TB key. If you changed the actual torsion bars, then thats diffferent.

ctrow Posted July 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 I would think that increasing or decreasing the 'twist' on the torsion bar would produce a different spring rate? Maybe I haven't looked at them close enough to know what I'm talking about. I'll have to check when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenKey Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 For that much, you could get the Lingenfelter performance pkg. It's $14k+. I wonder how much the performance pkg is if you do all the install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j4nash Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 Why get they GM crap when you can get a magna charger Radix that is better than there cool charger. You a lot less $$$$$. And also there exhaust probably has to meat regulations that companies like flowmaster don't plus flowmaster sounds a lot better than any thing Gm can put out.
