Thanks guys... we were really happy with how
the car handled and ran... We have a list of little
things to make it better... rework the rear brake valving,
taller ball joint and maybe some different size bump stops,
Soften the tops of the rear sway bar mounting

Need to check out the shaft system to make sure the solid
rollers etc are all good since we had so much trouble before
installing them.. also want to look at the bronze gear in the
Dizzy as it has a few miles on it now.. motor was a pain for
a while so I want to make sure all is well inside... seemed great
all runs

Driver needs to get a little more aggressive now that I am
remembering what this car can do after 20 years of not
really running in seriously

All in good time.. I am really happy with the results so far
and enjoying learning how to dial it in

Future may bring new gearing, tires, wheels and brake upgrade

Bob,

Sounds like a pist-off-Poncho to me.

Upper Control Arms, Bob. Sorry for using abbreviations.

Ah, Greg beat me to it.

I'm very happy with my SpeedTech arms. At current ride height, which is low, I have -1.5 camber and +4.5 caster. I could go more on both, easily. Camber gain is very nice compared to stock. I just noticed the comment in the analysis about your camber gain so I though I would ask.

Glad you had a lot of fun out there. Good luck!

Uca's... I think I figured it out late last night
I have speed tech control arms..... emailing
back and forth with Harry last night and we
decided to put a taller ball joint.. 1 1/2" taller
although I think it may already be raised up...
will check to see how much

Camber on the car is 3 1/2 degrees presently
not sure where caster is.. toe in approx 1/8"
We checked it at the track again last Saturday
