[@Dunecoones]

YES, YES, YES !! TOE IN...= Dangerous as hell. Great to hear someone bring this up!

[@petecolone5125]

Not a racer but I'm learning a lot from your vids. Thank u

[@KevinWilsonSBC]

Thanks so much, Pete!! Appreciate you dropping a comment! Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!

[@jasonwoodruff6747]

I really appreciate you taking the time to make this series it's been very helpful! I understand the frustration on explaining how everything works together I go through it daily with transmission and torque converter I love helping people understand how it all works and it can be frustrating at times but I wouldn't have it any other way!

[@mr.x1510]

I'll continue to follow Kevin

[@kevin_nagle]

Another excellent video Kev! Keep up the great content, this series has been the videos that I look forward to. Looking forward to the next one.

[@ianp2009]

Thanks for a very easy to watch and understand video!!! Subscribed and will be back to learn more!

[@mr.x1510]

It makes perfect sense. I know you go for straight line, and so did I ( old bracket R), looking to make an overpowered cornering machine. My last car

[@johnnykru2255]

The best explanation I’ve ever seen! Thanks a lot!

[@1nastycts_v290]

Great content as usual. Keep the good work and info coming. Been watching and taking notes for when my mustang is completed.

[@StevenCollects]

I'm pretty sure this video has given me the info we need to fix an issue with our no prep fox. Awesome series so far!

[@KevinWilsonSBC]

Awesome! Thank you! Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!

[@DiscoGreen]

Thanks what about a c3 vette. I was bending the rear spring so I put a 425lb rear spring & I removed 170lbs out of the nose and was just about to extend the shocks 2" for more travel.

[@xxcowboyjamxx]

Man I love your teaching skills and humilty. 38:15 to 38:40 was the neeedle in the hay stack I was looking for in the last couple days . Thank you Sir. I have a 2011 2ss Camaro that gets alot of attention at the gas station and any parking lot or sometimes a red light . In saying that I have had family and friends draw me to the track in it for some friendly grudge racing , moslty lol . I spent money on hp and knew in my knower I shoulda started with the foundation [suspension}, but I traded that for the rush of power and a thumbs up here and there. But now my 3k dollar wheels and tires have been some what compomised after installing metal cradle bushings , rear trailing trailing arms ,rear toe rods ....the toe rods mentioned are non adjustable and I think there in lies the problem that ruined the inner rear portion of the rear tires in a very short time . back right tire was from inner to middle and outer width measurement a depth of 1/32 -3/32- 5/32 fronts are still 9/32 across the board being pretty new . up front I have issues as well , broken front sway bar link on the left drivers side , ...sway bar link is bent on the right passengers and a bad left front stut . car pulls to the left on a dig and now I know why . this damage is recent . could a busted motor mount cause the damage up front ? I know the back has to be in the toe for the rear tire damage . sheesh lol ! Bless you and your dad bro!

[@charlesrutherford4785]

Kevin - thanks for the assist on my Monza. I used the "Square Chassis" video information and feel confident that I have the rear squared in the car now. It was out of whack a lot more than I would have thought having used a triangulation method before. People do what Kevin says - and don't go off your front spindles to set the rear.

[@LocoFabandMachineworks]

Thanks Kevin great info as always

[@prestonedmonds4128]

Great videos Kevin! Keep them coming.

Hi

[@jcnpresser]

Nice looking f-body.

[@earth2steven197]

Thank you so much, for all the knowledge you share. Great content!!!

[@aml3961]

Fucking awesome ! The way this guy conveys this info is invaluable. Im a follower now !

[@AustinBoil]

Adding a front ride height sensor is CRITICAL in analyzing & maximizing 60' performance. It's one of the most important sensors you can put on your car combined with front shock/strut travel sensors. What he said about outbound travel time is key.

[@nathaninwa240z]

Excellent video. Thankyou for doing these videos.

[@rondrake5467]

Great great beginnng vid .thanks

[@boostedlx1427]

great info thank you can't wait for the part 3 rear

[@jcnpresser]

I agree, I think I’d spend more into shocks that anything. What good is hp if you can’t put it down. One other thing is shock velocity changes with power management as well, I don’t think you mentioned that. I’d like to see your input on this also. Awesome video.

[@AustinBoil]

If you understand shock dyno graphs, you will see exactly where velocity comes into play in conjunction with velocity data channels in your data logger.

[@mbminitrucks1]

Thanks for the info, as I thought the qa1's in the front of my pickup are to loose and I need to tighten the a bit. Don't think it's gonna help my V6 when it runs out of power 6 feet out hahaha.

[@mickhirk4734]

Thanks Great information

[@KevinWilsonSBC]

I recommend you watch this other video of mine that talks about your car's suspension upgrades for sure!!! Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJiton2nnKZqpbs Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!

Oh I'm subscribed. I'm a wrenches and not to bad at it. But trucker at trade. This 74 Camaro I'm building I want to do it right. A good street car. Here are few things in the pot Cars solid Interior is out dash seats and counsel were really good 454 60 over with Steel crank resized rods Pro max dome 10 to 1 pistons and the skinny's rings Comp Big Mother Thumper AFR Enforcers Victor JR Roller rockers Hooker headers TH350 shift kit I still need a stall converter For front suspension. I still need Manuel gear box and no rag joint .... I got QA1 uppers New disk rosters and bearings New sway bar bushings New 90/10 shocks I'll upgrade later Moog 454 springs For brakes New power booster and master cylinder It's got a 10 bolt I plan on getting the JEGS posi and Richmond gears

[@davidvonanderseck8649]

I'm really fuzzy on rear suspension. I know this car is going to make power and I want to go strength And fast. I'm seriously thinking of keeping it simple with Caltrax leaf spring suspense. Getting rid of those old bushing

[@davidvonanderseck8649]

I still have to pit to motor together. And I think I'm going in the right direction on this. Oh and keeping the motor high and back to the firewall. Not cutting the firewall.

[@KevinWilsonSBC]

@@davidvonanderseck8649 I don't think you will be disappointed with the caltrac/leafspring setup at all!!! Go fast, go straight! Be Safe!! KevinWilsonSBC

[@jameshall7866]

One thing I try to relay to the owner of the car is to try and get their front end not be at max lift until their ramp of their power adder is all the way in. All movements as smoothe as possible so the vehicle doesnt get upset.

[@hankclingingsmith8707]

WOW WHAT A GREAT VIDEO

[@nitrofever]

Can you comment or help me to see if I can use Moroso trick springs for my 96 s10 6.0 or spring rate?

[@Sidewayzbuilt_performance]

Amazing videos how can i schedule a phone call with you about setting up a 2005 silverado extended cab for no prep racing? hopefully you can sell me the parts also

[@rj_boostedz2897]

Can you do a video on what works good for rear suspension setup for a no prep 4th gen fbody or torque arm cars

[@KevinWilsonSBC]

RJ_BoostedZ28 thanks so much for your comments! I will get that added to the list of videos to come. Go fast, go straight! Be Safe!!

[@pablotoledo2778]

HELLO KEVIN.. YOUR VIDEOS EXCELLENT. VERY EDUCATIONAL BUT IT WOULD BE VERY GOOD IF THEY COULD BE TRANSLATED.. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TEACHINGS..

[@DNRAuto]

"cheapest shocks I can get" I can tell you from personal experience, the single BIGGEST change I ever made was going from a three way adjustable, to a viking double adjustable shock. It was a night and day difference and worth EVERY penny.

[@KevinWilsonSBC]

Amen!! Amen!! Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!

[@bmxbowhunter99]

Dear oh my I found the 2nd video .

[@rsabol77]

Do you look for the same time from on front end extension on a track?

[@KevinWilsonSBC]

Rick Sabol thanks so much for your comments! Not sure I follow the question. Go fast, go straight! Be Safe!!

[@nathaninwa240z]

Interesting info on the front rise/compression vs the shift. I have a little wheel speed on the shift in every log. I’ll look into adding a few clicks of compression and seeing if that helps. Thankyou so much

[@DNRAuto]

Wheelspeed is the devil!!

[@apodbielski913]

I already know the answer…lol, but; would you say that a Strange single all around would be at least workable on a street combo? Clearly a double is going to be better being that you’re not adjusting both “settings” at once, but didn’t know if you’d be pissing in your own face with a set of singles.

[@KevinWilsonSBC]

apodbielski913 thanks so much for your comments! I will take that over a stock shock for sure. Go fast, go straight! Be Safe!!

You know your stuff, so maybe a little help tuning C10 truck arm suspension

Thanks, Dave! Are you talking about me making a video for how to setup a C10 torque arm suspension for drag racing? Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!

[@davemcrae4247]

@@KevinWilsonSBC l learn alot watching your videos, but this "truck arm suspension" seems like it could hide some traction/ handling secrets. Thanks for sharing your experience 😊. Dave

[@davemcrae4247]

A video would be great, thanks 😁

[@thomasward4505]

Great video as always but Try to shorten them up a little bit and don't explain everything three times because we are getting bored. I am fairly sure everyone who is watching is not a rookie to drag racing.

[@glasshouse4557]

I think he's doing a good job.....! Way to go Kev...!

[@randalljames1]

I could think of a lot of other cars I would use as a good example.. Mustangs have a rather sordid reputation of going sideways...lol

[@KevinWilsonSBC]

randalljames thanks so much for your comments! The mustangs work for sure when properly setup and chassis brackets secured. Stock torque boxes are a problem for sure. Let's face it, there is a reason everyone runs a mustang... LOL. Go fast, go straight! Be Safe!!

[@randalljames1]

@@KevinWilsonSBC well there are lots of em... $$ usually matters too.. small , lightweight, and chassis rigidity is pretty good.. I just picked up an 85 S10 that is only S10 in the middle.. :) The thing was 4 link's/ coil over racknPinion up front.. I have never run a car with suspension before (we ran AA/FA- AA/FC) but a buddy said I needed to see what I could do with it.. so dropped this thing in my lap to make run... So after 40+ years of racing, I have to learn "drag race" suspension with those shock things.. :) nothing like going 10khp to a 1000hp turbo :) so I have been picking up info from your videos.. nice job..
