Re: Side to side movement on 4 link Question

Re: Side to side movement on 4 link Question
Car back halved 4 link, coil overs With the car on jack stands , rear end hanging, how much side to side movement is acceptable? Should not be any, zero if the housing centering device is in good working condition. Lower HP stuff we use a simple diagonal link, anything with any power gets an X-link...

Re: Help with my shocks What is my car doing on launch video
I noticed something in the video.... you dont have any kind of filter on the overflow tube from the cell. Rubber from the burnout can be sucked in and clog the fuel pump. Jerry Bickel sells a bulkhead fitting that has a small KN style filter on it. Just drill a hole in the floor pan and connect the...

Have you mapped the 4-link to know the i/c and anti-squat %?
Yes I have I dont have my notes at the office, But the anti squat off memory was 91%+-

Re: Help with my shocks What is my car doing on launch video
Spool, good! Now than, stall 4400. Have you tried lowering the launch rpm to see if you get a bigger hit? Take your launch rpm down to 2400 and let it hit the converter harder thus hitting the tires harder. By doing this the motor gets a run at the converter and makes it multiply the torque better....

Re: Help with my shocks What is my car doing on launch video
Im launching at 3200. I bought the car 4 years ago & ran it & did well, but very inconsistant. I bought Daves book. made sure everything was square. I put it on the scales and it was the polar opposite of the current setup.( also the same as when I bought it so nothing much had changed.) The...

Re: Look What followed me home! Ex Sherman Carter car
4.66??? I'm sure Thats the original builders quote, judging from his race win record around here , why would he lie? he has no skin in the game. But the older I get the faster I was. Said his first run was an 8.36 in 1/4 & ran out of gear. Nice guy, had heart attack & wife stopped him sold ...
