I have the stock part, original bushings too and got 1.60 60' times on 275-50 DR's.
I remember a time some years ago when it was common to see lots of recommendations for the part. Q. How do I get my 60' time down? A. First, do you have the big PS, got to have one?
Lately it seems the answer to the question is the same except followed by a recommendation to remove it.

Snubber
I dont think snubbers help or hurt you, Ive been a 1.47 with one and a 1.45 without one on a 9" slick. I think alot of it has to do with how you stage a car, I turn on the first bulb at idle, bring up the rpm's a little then turn on second bulb and get on it real good. That brings the front end up and the back end down, by the time im at the boost I want to launch out at the light is at the 3rd yellow. I think the only time a pinion snubber should be used is when someone uses their car as a daily driver and they make good power on street tires, you sorda need that weight on those radials. Thats just my experience.

One car NONE, one car Aftermarket biggie.
I'm an extremist.
Didn't get around to taking the other one off yet.
Save them however, the next wave of gooroos may say they actually work well.
