Chasis set up

[Indy]

My goal is to see if I can pull better 60' times without spending alot of $$$$ on new parts. Like rsnider said earlier I've already shelled out enough cash on my new T/C and trans set up, and I don't have any left for the suspension right now. But I can relocate my mount for free just takes alittle time after work one night. I know it will help get the Mach to hook alot better.

Don't worry rsnider I'm going to be doing some reinforcing with along with the relocation.

Are you running spherical bushings Tad?

Are you running spherical bushings Tad?

Yes.

FWIW . . . I have one of the only SN95s I've ever seen that actually launches level and pulls both wheels equally off the ground. So, I must have done something right . . . for once . . lol

Yes.

Yes it looks nice and straight.

It was more exciting without the anti roll setup.

Hey TRUUBLE... 600# off the front end!! Sounds to me like you changed your instant center a WHOLE BUNCH. You just did it a different way.

Yeah . . lol . . I'm sure it changed a bunch. And, you're right, most of the weight loss was from the dash forward.

Hey Indy,

From what I've read it all works together. If you set up the car without NO2 you will have to re-adjust everything once you start using the bottle. Believe it or not my neighbor has 340 RWHP, 486 gears, 4-spd, gutted 69 Camaro using MT E.T. Streets and he has TOO MUCH hook at the line. He has to run 20+ psi in the tires to get them to spin at all. He managed to finally get traction by using the instant center to shift weight. Now he is working to lessen his traction. I've found some really good short articles on the internet. I'll make a copy and drop it off at the shop if you want?

From what I can see of the aftermarket kits, all they do is drop the LCA connection to the differential a couple of inches. Which raises the IC into the 100+% range planting the rear tires harder when you pull the trigger.

Is there any mention of how this affects handling through the corners?? Do you have any plans for beefing up the differential / axels if you're gonna be hitting the rear end that hard??
