Thanks Steven. The cool thing is that I will be putting it to the test so we will know for sure what kind of benefeits these changes will make by comparing to this years lap times.
Hey Gae...fun stuff! First impression, GW beat me to posting about the G-Mod. Lower control arm moutning would depend on spindle and (tall) ball joint choice for correct camber curve right? I know you know this, and Vince is a bright mind so I'll be interested to see what you two come up with.

You already are fast Bro, so while testing new ideas might be fun it could turn into more of a science project than a productive exercise. I hope I'm wrong!

That's not what racers do. It's never good enough. Just ask me.

Thanks for the props bro but I dont think I'm fast. I look at guys like Carl Chicca and Dave Brown and think those guys are fast. Although I do think that those guys having the funding and years of track time over me is definitely a contributing factor in their success.

What confuses me.....I look at photos of my car on the track when my Torque Thrusts were on it and my tires look flat on the asphalt and tire wear was even across the fronts. It never pushed either.
Once I through on the vette wheels, lower tubular control arm, and changed my alignment settings everything went to ****. So I'm back to square one. I'm honestly hoping that my alignment setting are the contributing factor to the car pushing. May 19th I'll be running at T-Hill again so I'm hoping the recent changes I made will fix the push.

Fill me in on what you know about moving the lower control arms

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