Nice thing about that set up is you can run a ton of anti squat.....if you are into that kinda thing.

Ive been trying to talk Guy into this set up for years. Maybe 4 or 5 more of these pop up and he'll cave.

In the simplest terms...

On a conventional 3 link, as you move the top link down in the front, creates more forward bite on accelleration. The further you move it down and forward bite increases, it effects corner entry (decelleration) making the car loose. So you are limited to how much forward bite you can put in a conventional 3 link.

By adding the top bar (decel link) in a decoupled 3 link, you can tune/maximize forward bite/grip with the accel link (bottom link) and not have the loose problem since the top bar is controlling decelleration/corner entry.

Ron Sutton can explain it way better than I can, but that is it in a nutshell

I think you hit all 3 links with that explanation Payton. Really Awesome build.

Too Funny Skip!

So just like about everything else on this car. The place for the fuel cell was made to a dimension that no off the shelf fuel cell would fit. We also did not like that there was no protection for the cell in the event of a rear impact.

The rear section was cut out and re-made.

One of the benefits of living in Charlotte is all of the used NASCAR parts as previously stated. I picked up this used can for $50.

Can in place and ready for top bracing

This is the finished top portion.
