Ran a Tru-Trak in the Double Venom, wow.
When we went to a custom made independent rear we used an 8.8 WITH SUPPORTING COVER. DRAG raced it every weekend, speeds 133 +/- best time 11.00. No problems at all.

The simplest rear set up we found was the Stock CR set up, but changed the top arms to double adjustables (easy to change pinion angles), the lower arms are the weak point, actually flexed/ twisted under hard loads. To fix this, went to poly. bushings and totally boxed in the open arms. Cheap and certainly gets to the point in a hurry!
