I have an IRS chassis on my '64 and use a quaife and running LOTS of torque a=

7/SM7 DORT slicks. That has to be factored in.<br>
That said, an IRS rear end will almost always grip better than a live axle w=

Overly stiff rear sway bars is usually the culprit. I run 3/4" on mine. A lo=
cker has always been out of the question for me.<br>
