Re: Suspension help

more lies and misinformation. Now for the facts...Bob's car weighed 3600 lbs.+ complete with glass hood and bumper and the weight over the front tires was 1700 lbs. compared to my 2200+.

You mean now for the misinformation, Your insane:(LOL

Re: Suspension help

Insane...NO, informed YES! :p

Just so happens I spoke to Bob 2 weeks ago, (the same Bob West that wants nothing to do with you and threatened you with legal action if you did not remove his car from your website) to help out a friend building a '68 chevelle stocker, specifically about his former car's nose weight and the santhuff spring he used.

Just stay away from the driveline, and everybody will be fine. I think you get your weight and 60 foots mixed up with Joey's.

Re: Suspension help

again lies, but now it's damage control and again you talk about another car that the original owner sold in 2007, 7 years ago. Nonetheless, it had nothing for my car, weighed less and didn't 60 foot 1.28!

When making any turn the body leans over greatly. The rear had one air bag on the right when I bought it and the front end lifted the left front off the track and the right stayed on the ground. I installed an air bag to the left and ran about 15 lbs on the left and about 30 on the right and it picked both front tires about 8 inches on the launch. I would like to update the suspension front and rear but I am curious about the way the car leans(scared the heck out of the local fire dept at one race on the turn off!). I have been told that the lower ball joints must have been lenghtened for the car to lean like that. Is that correct? Also notice that when the front tires are off the ground they appear to be straight not cambered in or out like so many cars I have seen. Is this set up good or bad.
Thanks to any and all help you gentlemen can give me. Not looking to set any records just want to be competitive..........lot's of luck!!

Re: Suspension help

Another feeble and failed attempt at misleading those following along.:rolleyes: I did not recieve the 522 until winter of 2007 but you knew that already. Meanwhile this 700+HP cast iron headed 468 built by Rich Biebel who posts here was under the hood the entire 2007 season including 11/24/2007, just as it was every season before that since 1995.:p

Can you post the entire timeslip? If not, why not?:confused:

Again, this a valid question: how does one 131 MPH in negative 1000 feet air = 700 HP, anyone.............?????????
And one more valid question: How does a car that runs 131 mph with a 1.28 60 only run 10.07?

Re: Suspension help

stop the lies. just because you refuse to believe it, don't mean it didn't happen, the photos, videos and time slip don't lie and are far more than you have ever posted up regarding any of your claims! it ran 10.07 @ 131 in 1400+ air! Again, no one cares and it was almost 7 years ago, let it go!
