    Looking closer at this engine option

    Oh the confusion of compression ratio and super/turbocharging. The ultimate goal is how much fuel and air is in the cylinder at time of detonation. A top fuel dragster runs approx 6.5 to 1 compression ratio with ALOT of boost. Hence a relatively large combustion chamber with a heck of a lot of...

    What is the largest engine that can fit in the SL-C?

    Remember you'll need a transaxle that can handle the torque.

    SLC Bump Stops

    Curious to know if anyone is using puck style bump stops on their shocks to limit bottoming out. The roads in northeast Pennsylvania are third world quality at best. I upgraded the rear spings to 850 lbs and didn't want to go any stiffer. I'm at 4" frt and 4.5" rear ride heights. So far my...

    Restarting my SLC project in West Texas

    CONGRATS TO YOUR FAMILY! Building the SLC is a great accomplishment but I'm sure you know you'll never be more proud than of your family's accomplishments. That being said wait until that random stranger refuses to believe that you built your car. My wife took my iPhone to the shop for a new...

    Severe rear end wobble on hard accel

    I swapped the links today in different combinations.I have 5 sixteenth washers stacked on the bottom of the long link. Ended up with about 0.2 degrees less angle on the tow arm than the upper control arm with zero toe at 4.5 inched rear tire height. I was limited on how much I was able to...

    Severe rear end wobble on hard accel

    Thanks Howard. I’ll be busy this weekend. It is interesting that a inch or so could affect the bump steer so much. But I’m confident there is sound engineering applied with the design based upon the excellent overall package the SLC is as well as the other products RCR produces.

    Severe rear end wobble on hard accel

    I received advise from a gentleman that’s intimately involved with the development and manufacturing of the SLC. I was advised that the spacers that are held in double shear arrangement for the rear toe links may be installed incorrectly. Sure enough I have to larger spacer at the top and the...

    Severe rear end wobble on hard accel

    Everything is tight with no wear on any heim or hub. Checked tires 35 psi tread clean and within 1/8 inch circumference. Alignment is good. Leaning towards what Randy said. It feels like it’s clawing for traction side to side, but there is no noticeable wheel spin. Talking about surfaces I...

    Severe rear end wobble on hard accel

    It only happens on hard accel. It only happened once or twice before it was tuned because I was breaking in the engine and didn’t use full throttle.

    Severe rear end wobble on hard accel

    Got the car Dyno tuned yesterday and was finally able to do some hard pulls on the road. At about 50- 60mph under full throttle the car develops a SEVERE side to side wobble from the rear. It is an open G96-01 transaxle. I checked the rear toe and its about 1/64 toe in. Everything is tight and...
