Now, you are talking

OTOH, its still very weird that the bar snapped. The load is supposedly along the axis of the bar. Breaking it that way is very very difficult. I would suspect a less than ideal installation.
Way more powerfull cars with way harder suspension have used these bars with drag race starts many times over without failure, so it is hard to believe its a design fault...
Welding the taps straigth towards the direction to which the bar attaches to is critical to avoid lateral stresses. The bar is not designed to take lateral forces.

Anyway, please, do show pics and specs of your future engine Sounds spectaculair!

Thanks,
Walter
