I'm running no crash bar at all. The FMIC, although expensive, is a crash bar in itself.

The FI replacement is made of steel and most likely provides more impact resistance than the aluminum OEM bar

Dude, at these power levels, weight savings doesn't add up to much. Weight really only matters off the line anyway and don't worry about that, you won't have any traction thru 2nd gear

That was the joke my friend. I can only imagine the traction issues I'm going to ENJOY soon enough!

It was Tx, then Ok, Then ID, THEN AZ! LOL Spent my high school years here so when my family moved back to Louisiana I stayed. Not a place in the world during football season I'd rather be than there (It's like their religion, but oh man those crawfish boils before gametime. AH!) but I'm happy here in Az. Everything is nice and new, busy, lots of opportunity to make money. Lousiana...not quite as much. They enjoy their booze, football, and frog legs.
