Mike.....I value all your input. I run 25 split across the front ( 25 more RF ) because I have found the car to " squirt " loose on initial corner entry with anything less. I have also found that almost every car has had better corner entry with the front panhard bar running uphill to the...

One more thing Mike. All 4 cars run the front panhard bar uphill to the chassis 1/2". This is good for about 2 - 3 tenths on all 4 cars I tune.When I run the front bar level, the cars are all loose on initial turn in. Is this telling me that I am a little light on my front springs ? I run a 400...

Mike.....I do use Nitrogen in the tires. All tires grow exactly 2lbs

So ...Mike. Here's one for ya. I've got 4 pavement sprint cars that I tune. Two of which I built. 2 of the 4 are a long 4 bar ( to the motor plate which is 42" to rear axle CL ) both of these cars use almost the exact same setups and are both very quick. The third has a z link rear like a BEAST...

Thanks Mike....I eagerly await your response

thats great...thanks Mike

Mike...would it matter if the panhard bar was mounted off the back side of the axle ? I could get it closer to the LF then...between the 4 link brackets ?? Thanks...Kenny

These #'s are correct Mike. I can't move the mount on the axle any farther to the left, because the coil over is right there. There is about 1/2" clearance between the frame and the coil over and its only 7" to the king pin CL from there ( just enough room for the steering arm to clear the coil...

Thanks Mike...preciate it

Mike...one more thing. Should I make a " bolt-on " front panhard bar bracket for the axle so I can tip it up and down to keep the bar level as I move it up or down on the frame ?? Thanks...kenny

Mike...my front panhard bar length is 31" OAL. From the center of the axle to the panhard mount on the left side of the axle is 11.5"

Back again...Mike, I am curious about the front roll center location left to right in a pavement sprint car. I've noticed that Beast and a few others have the stand off on the right front for the panhard mount quite close to the frame, where as my car has the stand off quite close to the coil...

Mike.....where does rear panhard bar adjustment most effect chassis handling ?? Through the middle and coming off ?? Front panhard bar adjustment gettin in ?? Thanks...kenny

Yes...I use nitrogen in the tires as well as tire reliefs. Now...heres an argument I've had with more then a few people about setting tire reliefs. If you ask Hoosier they tell u to set them 5PSI higher then your starting pressure..this doesn't make sense to me...if my RR tire says it...

I am going to measure our track this weekend...when u say diameter of track Mike...do you mean at the goove?....out side of track ? Add inside and out side then divide by 2 to get an average ? Im interested in seeing what this formula says I should have for stagger Kenny
