I just unhooked the wires that were there and hooked up the new wire. If I can remember right it was the stud with the nut on it, not the plug. I'll try and take a look at it tomorrow to be sure.

To the OP, I doubt there is a "right" side but if you are concentrating on drag, Pro5.0's advice seems to make the most sense.

+1 i'm 99% sure the car torques to the left, which means you'd want the weight on the pass side to offset it.

Doesn't that one car drag the left side of the bumper on launch?

cars torque to the right, when cars leave the line they tend to go right. now that i think of it i prob shouldve put it on the left. but ive always seen them on the right.

i know everyone has seen this pic.

Now thinking about it i'm gonna go ahead and put mine on the left because i have a vert and i need all the stabilizing support i can't get even if its minor.
