Re: What would I gain...

Yes, its all OEM with stronger rear control arms and all solid bushing mounting points except for the ears on the 12 bolt, they are poly. The OEM stuff responds differently than a short pick-up point aftermarket suspension. On a factory four bar car, the IC is wayyy out, which really adds to the pr...

Re: Wheel Base?

I am planning to do some Top Sportsman racing and hoping to run in the 7.20's to 7.30's and in the 180 mph range. Would the 108 inch car be better than the 105 inch car? And does this change the drivability on just the top end or both ends of the track? THANKS TS1955 A longer wheelbase car is less ...

Another would be to use the topmost locating hole at the front of the right side ladder and the lowest on the left side. This provides a torque opposite in sense to that of the driveshaft torque. This torque is also proportional to the driveshaft torque, so...with exactly the right ladder bar adjus...

Is there any cracking or signs of...

Re: Wadding the tire

The center of the tire certainly isn't applied consistently- the wiggles and what not on the edge of the pattern are normal, but there should be a consistent 'smudge' through the middle where the tire is round, accelerating and on top of the track, not all dug in and wrapped up.
