Mostly all of the more well-known builders will build a car that can run TD. How fast are you looking to go? If you want to be like Bender, definitely go with like a Spitzer or someone who knows how to go sub 3.90's etc. Some of the bigger names also have different variations of their chassis that they can get you what you want.

Spitzer hard tails are really light and IMO are the way to go if you want a ligit TD only car.

Our M&M's are still our preference as they are like a Spitzer in a lot of ways, slips, not rigid, ect and have shocks so we can do whatever with them.

Oakley has a new Miller TD car built for boosted applications that have much bigger anti-roll, 4 link bars and a completely redesigned rear compartment that looks and performs awesome.

My 2011 248 Undercover Dual shock swing arm does a pretty good job for me. Goes down the track every time, has been 3.82 with .95x 60 foots. Will run 5.90s in the 1/4 if I let it. 2140lbs With my fat ass in it,

Love my M&M but like all 4-links it will be heavier than spitzer. The Danny Nelson cars are popular as well and plenty of them run well under the 6.0 range. I have seen quite a few under cover cars as well.

I've never raced TD, but the only two chassis' I have owned are Spitzer and M&M. I think if you look at an average of successful TD, TA racers, you'll find that Spitzer wins hand down. They just built a good racecar.

I love my Dan Page hard tail car. More power I put to it more it seems to work.

I have not been quite as quick as a few above on this post but its been 6.50s with no problem and hoping to run 6.1s with the new combo later this year.

Diamond with dual suspension (1 shock front, 2 rear), anti-roll. Very smooth and a big window in the setup to make them work well. Front suspension will save the chassis long term if it carries the front end up any amount.
