LCA vs UCA / Barton Bracket/Blowfish
Howdy Howdy,
So recently I've gotten into drag racing. But I'm having trouble putting the power down. My best run was 13.2 @ 110, but I either get too much wheel hop, or I get locked out of 4th gear shifting at high RPMs.
Here is the wheel hop:
Would I be better off getting LCA or UCA to help with this? Should I be looking at adjustable or non-adjustable?
Here is me getting locked out of 4th gear. This happened 60% of the time that day:
Would the Barton two post bracket solve this problem? I know a lot of people like the blowfish bracket, but the Barton is a third of the price. I thought I'd start with that and see if that helps. If others could point me in the right direction, information would be greatly appreciated.
Here's a video of my best run. Gotta love those Borlas.
Thanks for the info guys!

You can't go wrong with the Barton 2 Post. Its still a highly recommended Bracket. I had installed mine when I did my shifter (Barton shifter) as well and haven't had lock out since then....
Mind you, I don't drive a GT and you have a lot more power to play with.
Blowfish might be better for you, depending on what your end game is and what you plan on doing to your car, I dunno. I can't see you going wrong with the Barton 2post, It is still one of the best brackets out there.

I have seen this come up in numerous threads. Evey one is looking at the shifter or the way it mounts. I can not wait till the 2015's get here so I can test drive one. Ford re deigned the shift linkage rod and that is suppose to be the real issue not the way it mounts so we will see.
I am also wanting to know why some people have really bad wheel hop but others do not. I personally don't. I have the track pack if that makes a difference.

Still, no more wheel hop for me. At least on the street. I haven't tracked or dragged my car, and don't really have a plan to. But, the Pirellis have to go. I spin through first and second on the street, even with all the "aids" on.
