Ronnie,

I was saddened when you wrecked that thing, it was one of my favorites. I have to say though, it just keeps getting better and better. That thing is gorgeous!!! :smt023

^^^ Thanks. My Wife (for a long long time) thinks I have about $15,000 in the car...LOL. I stopped counting long ago...LOL. My racing friends compete to see who will be the first one to call my wife with an offer to buy the car when I am 6' under...LOL.

 

[ty_ty13]

its a sharp car! I always plan to paint my car and then i decide to spend the funds on go fast stuff, lol.... my hood scoop really needs some TLC!

 

[3gdwrench]

Excellent work on the car, just sweet !!

 

[novadose]

Car looks great fofo.

 

[fofo]

^^^ Thanks all! I am fortunate to have worked hard for a long time (along with my wife), saved a few bucks, & have friends & vendors that have been my "partners" on this project. We always joke that IF the car runs like shite, we can always "go to the car show"...LOL. BS & Beer are a lot cheaper than C23, n20, & broken racing Parts...LOL. It would be a lot cheaper...

Only in America!

Fo fo how long are the wheelie bars on your car they seem super long in the pictures above....?

 

[fofo]

Yep, about 90". On the run in the logger graph, the car launched perfectly straight, & hit the Passenger WB hard, & stayed on it with front tires about 4-6" for about 100'. Stagger was 5" D 7 4 1/2" P.

 

[fofo]

^^^ Sorry, Driver WB 5" & P WB 4 1/2".

 

[JL Performance]

I figured that was a typo.

I only went 72 inches on my pos. 4th gen has more of an overhang so I figured that was some of why those looked so long but that wasn't all of it.

Fwiw those measurements seem like about where I wanted to put mine to start. Stock style suspension so it's gonna be different... But I'm sure not that much in that department anyway. I'm looking to have it touch the bars and ride them for 20 feet or so, really don't want the front end more than about 6 inches up

Eventually I'll but the load sensors, shock travel sensors and the distance from ground sensors on the front, rear and rear end.

 

[fofo]

I am hoping the DRPM check might have been partially explained by hitting the WBs so hard. The Chalk on the Passenger WB was wiped completely clean. This is one reason I think the car wants more wheelspeed, to momentalrily glance off the Passenger WB, & that's it. "UP" movement it not as efficient as "Foward" movement. If weather holds, we will see next Saturday, God willing & the creek don't rise!.

They don't need to know how much it cost !!! My wife has an Idea what stuff costs , but she's no even close !!! lol little white lies !!! I blow through a 1/4 million dollar operating budget in the farm every year !! And always pray to make a profit ! what I spend on the race car comes from my winter job - Ford C6 transbrakes and C6 transmissions

There's a lot of chatter about what a Racepak log Drive Shaft RPM should look like at the hit for the best 60' times. The "check mark" is what is commonly discussed as to what it is and what it should look like.

Here's 3 different launches. Take a shot at putting them in order from Slowest to Quickest to 60' times.
