Re: 4 link software
If you can do without the bells and whistles, there's a free spreadsheet at my site. No pictures, but it gives you the percent antisquat and IC location, which is all you really need.

Re: '67 Nova
1. My best ET now is 11.85. I see much faster cars at the track and on TV that get from A to B with very little chassis comotion (twist and rise). Shouldn't I be able to achieve better performance by tuning out this chassis comotion? Definitely!! Any twisting of the front end is a sign that your re...

Re: anti roll bar
The short answer: Yes and no. The long answer: The reaction to the driveshaft torque is taken at the engine/transmission mounts. Then, it is distributed, front-to-rear, in proportion to the relative roll stiffness of the front and rear suspensions. In other words, if all the roll stiffness was at th...

Re: Undergrad Math Conference Help
May I suggest that you present the derivation for the setup equations for an offset 3link. This would be a setup that would provide equal rear tire loading during launch with any value of driveshaft torque. Some tips: Separate link forces into their horizontal and vertical components. Place the inst...
