Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
IIRC the traction issues were only in 1st gear, basically. All of it.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
The point w/ the bigger setup is that the 50 trim setup is pinned completley, and he anticipates most, if not all of the traction and drivetrain issues to be resolved this season. So if, and when he gets those under control, he'll be able to turn the power up even more instead of just being stuck t 720

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
I am with CVD, but whatever good luck to ya.
Since you don't have a street car you can ride with LB, i have a girl, but you can ride every once in a while.
Twin 101mm FTW!!!
Also, if you run a piss poor time with this new setup and my bro beats you, i will whoop your ass.
(by piss poor, i mean like 11.3 cause of traction or shit tranny/synchros, etc)

If/when you look into wheel scales, I highly recommend the line from Longacre Racing. We have set and have been very pleased with them in terms of repeatability and build quality. The only downfall is that they're not drive-on scales so we built a set of stackable ramps for the pads to set in.

Who cares about corner weight for drag racing?

Think about the dynamic behavior of the vehicle.

Thank you .
We just haven't had a chance to get the corner scales yet. We have been mindful on where the weight has been pulled, but I would really like to get it on a set to help see where all the weight is.
I did notice that I will have to re-adjust my suspension a bit to make sure the car sits level again for this up-coming season.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
Pre-loading spring tension on a particular corner can help make or break a launch. It's something easily over-looked by many, but for those who get it, and know about it, it makes a BIG difference. I wanna see a solid 9 inch ford rear end in this car, with adjustable 4 link setup.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
how did you shave that much weight? I thought that it was already stripped and that is alot of weight!
I can't wait to see what that car will do now if you put bigger turbos on.

What do you think the weakest link on the car will be this season?

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
Well it is a toss-up. We are approaching the land of full unknowns.
Maybe I'll start shreading intermediate shaft gears like on the DSM's.
Maybe the new headstud solution won't work.
Maybe the syncro's won't make it a full pass.
Maybe the driver won't beable to handle the power and put it into the wall. Maybe the hoosier DOT radials will not be enough?
Maybe we will have other drivetrain issues.
Maybe since we plan on campaining 3 LSE cars this season, I just won't have enough time to get all the track passes I need in and it will be a long work in progress. 
Maybe I'll be banned from the tracks for going to fast  probably not.

Yeah.
Oh yeah, and if you ever need more power:

Who owns the other car besides John's? Looks to be an exciting summer. Which track will you frequent more, Rock or Cedar?
