GM A Body Drive Line Angles

[FSA1673]

Ed You did.

I just like to get other's opinions on the subject. Never hurts to have agreement. I have everything all set up and will try it in a week or two to see if the changes help.

Any opinions on anti roll bar settings? No preload or pre load passenger side and if so do I make the links longer or shorter?

Thanks, Scott

One thing to remember as you look at the Rossler chart is that having zero zero is better than +two-two. Don't have the formula in front of me but I think a 3 degree ujoint misalignment eats 1% horsepower so if you are down 3 on the trans and up 3 on the rear to make them parallel then it is 1 or 2% loss. Don't remember if the formula is for 1 joint or a pair. Work to get 0-0 knowing sometimes you just cant.

ok, just make sure that these others offering opinion have GM A body cars that leave on par with this one, launching off the footbrake and nearly 3900 lbs.

The all knowing, 1320 Racer, speaks again. Get over yourself. That car is not a Stocker, not a Super Stocker. Anyone (with enough money) can stuff a high HP BB Chevy in a Chevelle, Firebird, etc., and go fast.

You took the words out of my mouth.....well said.

it ain't about "go fast", it's about getting these cars to work and neither would you know anything about!

Meanwhile, show us your car no mind another GM A body that has gone 1.28 60 foot with a bolt on suspenion, using all and nothing but the factory mounting points, nothing welded and no anti roll bar, launching off the footbrake and weighing 3900 lbs.

The Proof is in the Performance!

Well it sounds like it was pretty damn simple.

[Jim Kaekel]

Brag some more. That's one thing you've proven that you can do well.

Brag some more. That's something that you've actually proven to be good at.

[1320racer]

it ain't bragging if you can back it up and your reply is typical of those that can't achieve the same!

Meanwhile, the op PM me for help last week and again pm me moments ago. He knows who to ask advice of when the topic is the GM A body suspension and how to get these cars to work better than most.

Matter of fact, a friend and accomplished Divison 1 stock and super stock racer who on occasion posts here just called me to ask the same for a Chevelle he's setting up for stock eliminator.
