Through the floor subframe connectors: I beam vs 2x3x0.120
I was watching Dave's DVD's when something popped into my head... 2"x3"x0.120" rectangular tubing weighs ~3.9 lbs/ft and has an second moment of area of 1.42 in^4. In contrast, S3x5.7 I beam weighs 5.7 lbs/ft, but has a second moment of area of 2.52 in^4. It weighs 46% more, but is 77...

'96 Mastang, Wouldn't it be more of a benefit to move the engine back towards the firewall, if you still can? For weight transfer. I was told that it will always help the 60' times. Nice job on the fab. work. I already have the engine mounted as far back and low as possible. The bellhousing bolts a...

Guys, thanks for the input! To ease the mounting of the intercooler, I ended up welding in a bumper brace too... :-P . http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g69/96Mustang460cid/96%20Mustang/Radiator%20Crossmember%20Mod/RadiatorCrossmember1-18-08008.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g69/96Mustang460c...

Did I help the situation? Or was it overkill? With Pics
My winter project has been to clean up my engine bay. In doing this, I have welded up all my engine bay seams and replaced the inner fenders & radiator crossmember. I used 14 gauge low carbon, hot rolled sheet metal for the inner fenders (I cut the OEM inner fenders out). Then, I used 14 gauge a...

Where Dave Morgan's DVD thread?
It was on its third page. About two weeks ago, Dave said he found people that hadn't received their DVDs (I'm one of them). Now, I can find no trace of the thread?
I'm doing my best to be patient...
Any updates? Anybody know where that thread went? Anybody...anything???

Importance of front suspension travel
I don't frequently post on this board, but I do read and learn quite a bit from here. And, it's not too often I can contribute, but I feel I recently tried something that people could learn from. My car is a 96 Mustang with a 460 BBF. Front suspension: --Strange 10 way struts --coilover conversion -...

I remember an article in Car Craft or Hot Rod Magazine that done exactly this. I think they found a ~5 hp difference, but I don't remember which direction the difference went. I would think the 3.55 gear would make more hp due to less frictional losses. I don't know if the losses would be measurable...

Okay, that being said, i gather he means that from all the input channels it puts together 12 datapoints per second. But can actually handle and show you 1000 samples/second on for instance one channel... Let me put it this way... 12 samples per second, is 1 sample per 0.08 sec. So in actual fact y...

To seriously SEE anything concerning dragrace shocks, you need a data logger, capable of doing at least 100 samples/second... I know the LM-1 is introduced as 44 minutes worth of data at 12 samples/second... But can you crank it up to more samples per second and less data time??? Cause you really n...

Racepak(now MSD brand), has some really good, precise liniar travel sensor in different strokes. Also race-technology.co.uk sells real good tested and proven liniar sensors. What is the framerate of your datalogger??? Thanks for the suggestions, I will follow up on those. The LM-1 logs at a rate of...

Logging shock/strut travel
I am just starting to get some good suspension parts put on my car that have some decent adjustability. I have a Innovative LMA-3 datalogger. I think it would be much quicker to properly tune the chassis if I datalogged exactly what the front and rear shocks/struts were doing at launch/shifts instea...
