torsion bars / drag racing

Gotta have the setup right for a wheels up car...

A a really stiff setting on shock compression will be what saves a car from crashing down after a wheels up launch, no so much the torsion bar...

2 reasons I see for running the slant 6 bars or even the smallest v8 non ac bars:

1.) You can store more energy in them because they are twisting further than a giant PST aftermarket bar. This allows the front end to be lower if desired - upward front end travel is typically a good thing in low powered cars. Low power as in 500hp or less

2.) Lighter weight.
