    i just re-read ur post. My C4 has a six gear planetary or sun gear. not that it has 6 forward gears. the planetary gear is one of the weakest parts in the C4. the stock is a 3gear planetary and is prone to breaking.

    i totally understand that. i have an accelerometer in my car and i can tell you what my specific car can do with my set up and tires. but i think better numbers may be the suspension characteristics. Like roll center, camber gain curve, caster gain curve and scrub radius and others. also...

    Weiand problem.

    okay, i get why ur asking about the rear crossover. Ya, you could run a 'T' or be creative.

    Weiand problem.

    the rear crossover is just a good idea to avoid hotspots, this is especially a problem with aluminum heads. but i dont see why those attributes of the OP would warrant the rear crossover.

    Ron Morris Street Force vs TCP coilover

    Why is it a better choice? when i went through my design of my suspension, (double a-arm with the stock shock towers taking the vehicle load) i noticed a better wheel rate to spring rate ratio with a LCA mounted coilover . as well as a slighlty lower CG. the longer the shock the better since...

    Weiand problem.

    the victor jr has a boss for the rear crossover, so i drilled and tapped for 1/2" npt and built an external crossover.

    Weiand problem.

    i have one in my garage order 6yrs ago. it has a rear crossover. i have about 500miles on it, then i switched to a victor jr. Do you have a kragen near you. the kragen near me has a performance shop in there. the sell a lot of "race" parts. earls edelbrock heads and wiend manifolds. They may...

    Retrofit Tacoma Struts in a Stang

    just read the whole thread, cool project. i have a 95 stang with coilover struts in front and it pulls 1G in turns. now im building a double a-arm set up for my 65 falcon, 20.5" coilover attaching to the stock upper spring cups, just to out handle my daily driver stang. so i agree a strut...

    65-66 CUSTOM MADE FRONT COILOVER SETUP IN PROGRESS

    i agree a coilover mounted on the LCA is a better design but the C/O mounter on the UCA still allows a height adjustment. a UCA mounted spring has a wheel rate that is 50% of the spring rate and a LCA mounted spring has a wheel rate of 85% of the spring rate

    computer mod question???

    i think when they say it increases by 25% they mean the total area under curve. take the dyno graph for hp. If you colored in everything under the line that would give you the area under curve, now put on the chip and it increases that area by 25%. so thats not a increase of 25% max hp, but an...

    yes, i am running a sway bar. I will get some new pics up. If you look at the bracket just to the inside of the coilover mount that will be the rodend attachment for the sway bar. 2.70 gears suck i know. Once i buy my moser fabricated 9" and build my 3link, i will have my 4.11 with a detroit...

    My Mustang dies on take off and delays throttle.

    my book says something under 1volt. my MAF read zero when it failed. Also if you check for the wiring diagram on the web you can find what wires to test the resitance. My MAF was open, infinite resistance.
