Nope!

But being that you insist, ask Vinny who got his car working better than ever years ago.

OMG this thread has been completely ripped to shreads. Started out very informative, I have done a lot of things in my lifetime but I do not shove it down peoples throats. Show some respect, if you can't show respect then do not post.

Vinny has far more important things now to be happy about. That said the car’s front suspension was completely redesigned by Fark’s maybe 3 years ago, not stock geometry anymore, now a tube chassis front clip.

They weren't, I wonder why

Looks like they know what this bracket racer has been stating here.

Frank, it depends on any given race day/weekend as to what I want it to be as we adjust the front shocks based on DA and continue to do so throughout the day and night as the DA rises and falls so the wheelie and 60 foots remain consistent. This past weekend they were low 1.26 over 3 days. That said, the best ever has been 1.17

With my Chevy II if we tied it down it would lose .10 loosing it back up to do huge wheelstands it would pick that .10 right back up. Just my experience.
