My car came with a set of them & I looked all over them for some clue to who made them but no luck. I wanna say I saw a set @ Moroso or Edelbrock or something.

well...........................................? give us the nickle version.

how far forward does the rack go from the point where it attaches to the spindle?

how high or low in reference to that same connection point?

do you take into consideration, the normal travel or total travel?

DANG that looks GREAT. how did you determine where you put the rack? I am seriously thinking about putting one in my 66 Chevelle & am not quite sure where to start. I am going to re-read my chassis books & go lay under the car for an hour or two & see if I cant finger it out. thanks Bob

welcome to my world. I need to slow my car down becuse I dont have the bucks to buy the safety equipment.

Anywho, I seem to recall that there was a N2O converter in the for sale section @ the Zone, go back about 2 months or so.

Ditto what Beyond (sorry I cant remember your name) said. I seem to recall Dr. Hook @ the Go Fast Zone saying something VERY similar.

VERY cool. that picture tells a LOT of how the IC affects the car. I REALLY need to go back through that chassis book & then make some changes to the car & see how it affects my combination.

thanks

I have a buddy that went through a couple of Glides until he got one from Mikes Trans. those guys REALLY know how to build a glide. You might want to give them a call.
