I love slapper bars! The best leaving camaro IMO (Bertozzi) runs em. My 80 camaro would 60 in the 1.40's on swap meet slapper bars and Kmart shocks, not saying the 1000$ set up is bad but they all pretty much accomplish the same thing -- stop spring wrap up. If you have plenty of pinion angle and it hooks good I would look at working on the freeing up the front end. Can you by hand bounce the front end easily or is it like a brick? No expert here just an alternative to spending $ on something that may not affect a 283 stocker.
