New subscriber here. Thanks and all for this for this priceless information BUT… holy cow man you don’t even look like the same guy from the video 3 years ago!! Congrats on getting healthy

Good move. It gets nuts trying to answer every question directly - doing that in content as a topic ultimately is what works. Love this channel, as I have learned a few things, and time is well spent.

Thank you for the knowledge you openly spread, excited to hit the track this season and more importantly your video on carnivore was my inspiration at trying it. 4 months in and I've never felt better.

Great information. I have been playing around with my ladder bar car and a a few friend/local racer 4 link car all on slicks bracket racing prep. Haven’t had much luck with longer instant centers (greater than say 40 inches) or with anything that squats or is near neutral. When people ask me for advice I tell them to set their 4 link up similar to my 32 inch ladder bar car which is set up at about 150 percent AS. Once their cars start separating a little their 60 foots improve and tire spin down track lessens. This is on mostly 3000 pound bracket cars 900-1100 hp range. Most people have decent double adjustable rear shocks now.

Awesome video! Your style of presentation is super easy to understand. You mentioned the mounting point spread at the axle, but do you have any insight to the distance from axle centerline to the upper and lower mounting points? Usually the upper mounting point is closer to axle centerline and the lower is further away. Is that usually a space constraint? Or is there a leverage effect being taken advantage of?

So, when initially installing a 4 link, does all the links have to be collapsed or extended while attempting to triangulate and weld them in place?

Kevin, if you see this i'm just curious of what you think is safe inner tire to leaf spring clearance? I just got my '62 plymouth together and have bout 3/8" between the tire and leafs (10.5x30 ET streets) I'm not sure how much side to side movement there is in a sidewall..

I got a 72nova with a good ol twin turbo dart ls. Im on 1 inch drop calvert leaf springs with sliders and a 275 pro drag radial. My question is Should i use the blocks I got and lower it another 2 inches or will that hurt performance via weight transfer or something like that. Like what should I be going for here like a lower front end than the rear or overall leveled out i seen some leaf spring radial cars low and leveled work great and I see some guys have the front end sit lower than the rear

More awesome well thought out practical advice here . To me followin this stuff separates the men from the boys . Perhaps alot of info to take in . Perhaps alot of effort and diligence to actually follow through on it but the knowledge is so powerful !

What about a big block tread like Mt sportsman pro. Which setup direction would you lean towards on a prepped track.

@KevinWilsonSBC 4 ай бұрын

Slick is where I would start but it will need some tweaking depending on many factors. Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!

So if I was a no prep/ street with a 28x10.5 Hoosier co7 tubeless. Would I lean more to a radial style set up? By radial style I mean more than 100% aintsquat, a shorter ic, and more spread on the bars at the rearend?

@KevinWilsonSBC 4 ай бұрын

There is a bunch more to all of this, but for starting out I would go with the slick setup first then test, then make educated changes. You will have to make changes depending on your weight bias, front end travel, power management, etc... Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!
