The best tuning tool for suspension.
I just got done doing suspension mods to my car and was looking through old videos and although I didn't record them for tuning ., I can look back and see what the car is doing and I actually can remember all the combinations . I also realized I should use my go pro more at the track because it really helps., I was a little bored and thought I would share. Its kind of neat to see not only how far the car has come but how the little changes changed how it left the line. Also the progression. I had fun watching the old vids. Also realized how much wprk I have done between 14.0's and 12.20's with the potential to dip into the 11's. we will find out next spring. Enjoy.
There was 2 distinct engines used in these videos both being 350 olds. I never got videos of the 350 in between those 2 but it ran a best of 13.3 with the same configuration when the car ran 13.8's
1st video car ran a 14.0 with anti hop bars and 3.42 gears all other parts where stock replacement.
2nd video was after a wreck added an x pipe was running through the mufflers, 3.73 gear and no anti hop bars I boxed the lowers with 1/4 in. plate. car ran a best of a 13.7 with fiberglass fenders and hood 13.86 all steel.
3rd video is stock arms but I added trick spring in the front and 90/10 shocks, rear where stock arms boxed with 442 springs and an air bag in the right rear . By now I had a more stout engine and was running 12.80's
4th video same engine no changes besides taking the front sway bar off. car ran a 12.68 in good weather.
5th video car went 12.55 the only change was a holley 750 DP from vac secodnaries and I added a limter strap from engine to the frame. and rear sway bar., eventually went 12.45 in better air.
6th video. Same engine , shed over 100 lbs, new paint, tubular front control arms trick springs/ 90/10's no changes to the rear suspension. ran a best of 12.29 with my best 60 ft of 1.71
7th video. is same engine same suspension but I added a 3500 stall from 2900. Now my traction issues rear in. I ran a 12.32 with a 1.70 60 ft @ 109 spinning pretty bad.
