Looking forward to it even though I have a feeling that this "gift" somehow winds up with me trying to get 4 shocks removed, revalved, and reinstalled in the two weeks between the Silver State Classic and the NorCal event in Reno...

... regardless... gifts are always appreciated :) and now you know why I have loved the Penske's from day one!

Hey, it's not cheap or easy being fast.. but you really never want your shocks adjusted all the way soft or hard.. gives you no place to go.

Sad about loosing the rear bar.. looked great on there! ;)

Thought I would add this to the build thread...

Dialing in the new Penske shocks.. money well spent. Car was good, but too stiff.. Mary and Dave kept driving it and saying "LOOSEN IT UP!!".. at one point Doug at Global West un-did one end of the bar.

Earlier in the tests...



Better if you actually go to YouTube and up the resoluting.. top speed on the course was over 70..

Here it is after we added in a little rebound.. seemed to be the right mix.
And if you like your Mary Pozzi a bit more on the "rough" side then this is for you..

PG-13 actually on further review it might be R rated.. lol



Gratuitous beauty shot going through the slalom..

Hate to butt in here, but what is the event in Reno? Any link or info?

Doug REALLY knows his sh1t! He is responsible for all the fun I've had with My Chevelle....if only he had come out with his A-body coil over set up six months earlier before I cut-up the back end......:willy:

Been busy on the engine side and work got in my way a bit. :)

Went with David Pozzi over to Nelson Racing Engines to build the new RHS/COMP 460 engine. We both learned a ton.

First "problem" was we didn't expect such a thin head gasket for the RHS deal. Typically we're use to a 51 and this was 41 compress which pushed our compression (static) from 11.3 to 11.5

Fairly confident that the cam overlap will bleed some off, but it's something to watch.

We take it to Westech on Tuesday for dyno. Right now I'm heading to BOS to pull out the 454 which is going in David's Camaro.

I will also be switching to Centerforce's twin disc clutch. After doing one in the 2010 SS I'm sold on how badass this thing is.
