little help with FWD

thanks guys for all the input,,,,,going to try much less air pressure tomorrow....Also going to look at this cam thing...........

The more I think about it (gettin in trouble here--LOL)----the cam`s duration just may be creating alot of torque and certainly no downtrack HP------once you look at it,,,its very obvious why the numbers dont match.....and its been that way from day 1------I have to be carefull about the finish line,,,,, when Im running a car the same et, they can alway out MPH me by 4 or 5

Im going to try to make something to stablize the new a-arms and also going to change struts,,,,,the ones on the car are worn out....got to remember to think in reverse (LOL)

on the spool thing,,,my car now is suppose to have the limited slip,,,it isnt working very well and the car still has the power steering rack in it which already makes it a nightmare to drive,,,,,,need to find manual if they are available,,,,,,,if there still is a problem after the cam change,,,,I`ll spool it

I havent seen the 125 apart in sometime so I dont really remember what would be involved with making a spool BUT i do have a friend that owns a machine shop,,,,if it can be made,,,he can do it and he has a machine for re splinning axles

again,,,thanks for the help

definitely,,,,email is tgriffith360@hotmail.com

also might add,,,,tryed 11lbs of air instead of that 18 to 20,,,,much BETTER...no spinning,,,at least not past the 4rth round (far as I got),,,,60`s were very consistent...made 6 runs and all 60`s were 1.99($)

Im afraid I might have been overthinking my problem but thanks to you guys,,,,I see clearly it has other issues---too small cam-------if I get a larger duration cam,,,,it might enjoy the 20 inch tall tires and with the spool, not likely to spin, These tires must have a stiffer sidewall than I was thinking,,,even with 11lbs, no sign of sidewall stress. I would be willing to bet you could run as little as 7lbs without then looking flat
