There are only two swingarm places that I know of. Mcintosh, and Tracdynamics. Both are good. Cost is around $1200 for +6 over. You can get by with extensions for about $300 til you have over about 220 hp. Then the whole stock swingarm starts to flex. That's bad, because what can happen eventually is the rear wheel bearing will seaze or lock up and you may go down.
Heard from I think it was Flatoutbu that his extensions and stock swingarm are starting to flex under hard drag racing launches. I think he's probably got the best 60' times out there right now. I have the extensions from Schnitz, but will be going with an extended arm before too long.

extensions was the route I was considering for now. So below 220 hp the extensions are good to go---sounds like the option I need. thx
