I haven't noticed a much harsher ride but I did notice one thing. My tires used to rub on the fender lip going over bridge divides. Now it doesn't unless I smack a bump real good or get off angle! I haven't tried a nice smokey launch yet

You will love the Caltracs at the strip. I don't have them but I have the Slide-a-links and the first time out I dropped my 60 foot time from 1.95 to 1.75. MUCH better seat of the pants feeling in that 2 tenths of a second!! That was on a really small tire with no experimenting with adjusting the links. You will have much more adjustability with the Caltracs. Hopefully you will see some good results as well.
That was smart on your part to add the subframes at the same time as the Caltracs. What type of tire do you run at the track?
Let us know how it launches for you.

Caltracks work great. Although if you still have trouble hooking, you might need to get some adj. rear shocks. I bought the ranchos. Now it seems to hook pretty good!

Yeah, that will be my next step. Hopefully this setup will eek me into the 12s N/A and maybe the 11s on the bottle. A buddy of mine doesn't think so but I keep telling him he just can't drive lol.

Forget your buddy man. Let him be the reason you hit 12.99 the next trip to the track. The bottle will definetly get you to the 11's. Traction and carb tunning is going to determine if you get 12's on motor though.
