Six cylinder torsion bars with big block
IMO, getting good info out here is what is important. Regardless of what any book says, be prepared to work with facts and laws of physics. The stored energy in any loaded spring is directly proportional to the weight put on it. If the weight is the same, the stored energy is the same. Lemme know if this does not make sense or what the issue is here. Or is the issue with the working with the 90/10 type of shocks? Again, asking not arguing; I am open to learn, RRR. Let us know what the book syas on this matter.Originally Posted by nm9sthehamActually there is no extra energy stored vs a thicker bar; stored energy is the same for both. The large upward motion from the /6 bar is caused by it having to untwist more to release the same amount of energy. The lighter bar also works better with a low rebound rate shock. Stupidest thing I ever read. Want the facts? Read the Mopar Suspension manual.
