That's hilarious Ron.

Todd you gave it a good run... I believe DSE Kyle had/has a TKO in his 70... is he still running it? I believe he was running a cooler on it as well at one time... or maybe he switched it out for a Magnum?

FWIW:


This put my clutch and brake even and added some free-play. The brake pedal stop in the car is similar thickness to the cut clutch stop.

I decided to adapt a set of dual adjustable Afco shocks to the rear of my car. I have reached the end of the rope with my single adjustable Varishocks. I'll never forget Mike Maier's face when I told him that was what I"m running out back. Anyway, to meet my future goals, I need more adjustability. Not only to slow down my weight transfer but to get down the 1/4 on the level I desire. I like the idea of having the same manufacturer front and back. Since my DSE sub has dual adjustable AFCO's this was my first choice. I got lucky and AFCO was able to build me a shock within .1(Stroke was also within .150) of the length of my old shocks and I'm able to mount them to reduce the unsprung weight while keeping the adjustment knobs accessible. That meant I didn't have to cut new relocation brackets. I did have them add a bump stop. I'm sure it will take me a few events to find the sweet spot but it should be worth it in the long run.

Dang! Does the ad agency for Viagra rent out the cars in your garage for their commercials?

I'll be out in Vegas to beat up on some magical Mopars, or whatever they call their event. You'll be there right? We need to show them what two lightweights can do against those Challengers.

Just out of curiosity, when you make a pass on the 1/4.... what settings do you run your front shocks at and is your front sway bar connected ??

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.
