Does anybody know if these set ups (not brand specific unless need be) with adjustable shock/strut could in theory be changed on the fly......as in while taking a corner if you had a means could you change the valving dial or would this damage the shock/strut?

Well some advice from a student....i didn't go to SAM i went to UNOH( University of Northwestern Ohio) but its similar and honestly it was loads of fun and i learned a lot and there were many opportunities there(some of you probably read the one on here about low lift flow in which i spoke about bei...

just to clarify that is not my cage i just posted it so you could view the rear bar area....my car will hopefully hit 10s but i want to use it for autocross and hopefully some time attack stuff so i believe i will need some bit of cage and the back only has lap belts which is why i was lookin for a ...

i know this is not engine tech but this gets more hits than any other places on this site and its current tally is at 30 views for like 3 days lol. im sure some of you professionals have seen something like this

those might not be good welds lol i dunno its a picture from online not my car it was just to help people see....im just looking to do autocross/time lap type stuff with the occasional 1/4 mile and it should be around the 10s so i dont think the rules on the cage will be too strick(however i have ye...

im wondering if anyone has done anything this..........can you move these rear bars towards the side of the car more and put the cross a bit lower and put an attachment on it for a 4 point harness( just like the front seats) so you can have rear passengers but in the event of an accident they dont s...

so out of 13 pages it appears we are still at the first page with my comments only reposed by sir swatson now lol.............what a delight this thread has been to watch everyone and their brother try to aid this workshop only to speak to a wall and repeat and so on.

well it appears you have missed everything ive wrote and once again just saying random stuff such as im sure mike jones used the chart to pick out his cams lol.
it appears there is nothing i can write for you to understand so good day

lol exactly my point. You tell me im just having blind faith when you are arguing a fact you have never even tried just going by what someone else says...hmmmmm lol maybe you shouldnt be so quick to either. i can use the exact wording you do for my side. "you must like this David Baker, so you ...

so just curious what kind of dyno did you use for these studies? how many different camshafts did you test and in what style of engines. did you use his book to calculate cams and how far off were they from what you had picked out and which made more power and by how much? just a few questions to st...

yes ive already read that and your Dave Baker never provided him with specs so he could use his 4 valve set up....and you sir said yourself that it works on small blocks. none the less im not going to argue over an internet site when neither of us have credentials like David. so for the original que...

while it mostly only working well on small blocks is probably true it does literally read from the book" this line represents what is needed for a typical two valve per cylinder push rod engine having between 9.5 and 10.5 : 1 C/R. using this as a STARTING point, we can make changes to the LCA b...

i think his lsa chart was mentioned for being 2 valve only and there were like 7 things his says influence the initial number you come out with that have to be factored in for the final lsa (he told us this at his seminar and listed the items).......i dont believe it was intend to be the say all for...

i could be way out in left field but i thought i remember reading that flow numbers from around 10 to like 60" of water could be calculated back in fourth but beyond that you start to get into compressing fluids(air that is) and below the air doesn't run its course the same as the deeper depres...

so your saying your going to drop a pro charger on a basically stock from 69/71( whichever it was) bottom end 350?
