My avatar car has split mono Calverts and the CalTrac bars. It's obviously not as fast as the OPS (11.10@119, 1.49 60' best). But it hooks consistently with bias slicks.
If for no other reason than the weight savings, wouldn't the split mono's be better for the OP? I can't factually state the difference as I've not weighed both. But I believe it is substantial - like 50-75#'s savings (maybe someone on here knows?). And with the adjustability of the bars, it seems like this would be a good route for a decent amount of coin. Consistency and et - better in both arenas.
