I was .089 seconds behind him in autocross. I'm still on 235 front tires.

Would the offset UCA bushing be allowed in that class?

That's him. I never looked at his setup super close, but I peaked under it this time and saw stock stamped steel UCAs! Factory style Chrysler steering box, not a borgenson. I realize some of this stuff can have modifications, but dang it's unassuming! Great car, great guy.

Denny's mounts allow for adjustment, I don't recall how much. Maybe an inch. I initially had them on the engine so it would be as far back as possible. That proved to be too far back for me. I have my main engine harness connector on the firewall and it was just too close to work. It also put...

I sure hope this thread doesn't get derailed again, like most of them do on this subject matter. For those actually interested in the content I'll provide an update on the car with real data, not speculative. I get it that most that disagree aren't educated on the physics required to actually...

Sorry I missed your question. Yes it's an Allstar performance ball joint. Attached is their catalog page with all the available part numbers. Just google up the part number and you will find someone selling them.

I trimmed the lip on my quarters. I think it's only about 1/2" wide now.

There you go! Sometimes all it takes is a little creativity.

That will likely require lots of fender modifications. That wheel has 5.5” of “front space”, which is approximately 2” more than what fits in the fenders without cutting anything. It will definitely hit the front edge of the fender and depending on how much caster you run, it will contact the...

Man you need to get these things mounted up. I’m anxious to see how they look. I saw they were running a sale on some sizes of the bronze finish for under $200/ea. if they would have had the sizes I wanted, I would have bought them and had them re-powder coated. Only the 18x9s were on sale.

They are the attack series. The color I have isn’t made anymore. After talking with a Holley guy at Moparty,(Holley owns rocket now) he happened to be the engineer that worked on the wheels. Apparently they had color match problems between batches with the color I had. So they discontinued it.

A-body 8-3/4. They are rocket racing wheels. Finding a wheel and tire combo is tough. I’ve found the rear size is much easier to find than the front. If you want a 9” wheel on the front, you will need 6.5” of backspace. They are out there, but then you won’t get the same wheel with the correct...

I run and 18X10 and a 275 tire with the offset front hanger and slider. I autocross regularly and I have zero tire contact. However, I did before changing to the slider. The tire would rube the inside the fender well. I do think I could fit a 10.5 wide wheel and run a 285 without contact...

Thanks for the lesson. However, a front end alignment is hardly machinist level accuracy (no pun intended). Nor do I have experience with anything beyond carpenter type levels. Please explain how the Longacre tool works without needing the multiplication factor. Is it a calculated radius for the...

This is what I do. Plastic bags and WD work great. I made some toe plates with some scrap 1x6s. I also cut a piece of hardwood that lands on the edge of the wheel so I have a nice repeatable place to put the level. I also marked the ground with tape showing 20 degrees both ways since the...

OK, how would you describe it? Not curved, straight, linear, in line, etc. I'm pretty sure he got the point.

My assumption is the Longacre bubble gauge is calibrated in such a way that the multiplication factor isn't needed. If you look at it closely, the glass of the level has an arc, it isn't flat like a normal level.

I use a piece of wood as a straight edge and a digital angle finder and put trash bags with copious amounts of WD under the tires for turn plates.

Race cars don’t need sway bars! Haha. JK always awesome when you don’t have to modify stuff to make it work

I've got some good used Hotchkis front shocks for sale. These shocks were an amazing improvement over KYB garbage. Only selling because I switched to an HDK. https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/hotchkis-front-shocks.556851/

Completely unrelated to your current discussion, but this photo makes it look like you have a ton of positive caster. Did you align the car yet?

I have no intentions of shortening the arms. While widening my front wheels isn't exactly cheap, it's much cheaper than buying another set of wheels.

Lots of space at the UBJ. Currently the limit of steering stops the tire about 1/2-3/4" away from contacting the frame rail. The next closest interference is the tie rod to the wheel. Once I have a wider wheel, the tie rod would likely contact the wheel, but the tire will contact the frame rail...

I am the OP, keep up. I suppose you've never read a magazine or new article, or book with a title that draws you in only to learn something from the contents of such article. It's pretty much English 101. BTW, you still haven't shown everyone your car. With your expertise of everything the sun...

I'm not here to get into non-data driven speculative arguments. I'm not even reading comments from some participants. Unfortunately, I'm going to miss the autocross session this weekend. I am going to try a small alignment change (reducing negative camber) prior to the March event and I plan to...

I intend to make something once the G3 is in there. No point in making making something now that may interfere with the intake on the G3. I also need to consider how much less space will be available due to the width of the G3. I have some preliminary ideas that will tie both shock towers and...

The diameter of the stud on the 2" is considerably larger than the 1". The 2" is just under 1" diameter. I didn't measure the 1". Allstar Performance makes many parts for the dirt track and roundy round world. While I doubt they are tested to meet OEM production car use, I'm willing to take the...

I've seen a challenger with their "Monte Carlo" bar. It bolts to the sheet metal of the inner fender....strange.

I was trying to prevent this thread to get back to the strength debate, but I'll address this and I'm done. @goldduster318 I can appreciate the deep investigations from your engineering mind. I'm an EE and can get down in the weeds on many topics as it pertains to electric power generation...
