Alex, how does the engine fit/look with the rear bodywork?

I had a miller syncrowave 200 that was fantastic but recently sold because I just wasn't using it. I never had an issue with the machine and it would take care of anything I threw at it. The only problem was that the machine was physically huge and it weighed a ton. Everyone around here seems to...

There was a guy who use to autocross one around here, was a great handling car. I always liked the car, but thought it was expensive for what you got. Only the last years of the car had 300hp, and before then it was only 275 or so. (and thats the old SAE HP rating, so its probably more like...

60/40 is about what these cars are. The engines are ahead of the front wheel center line by quite a bit. It's going to take a lot of work to get the rear lower than what i have it at, and even so, i don't think i can go much lower. The battery needs to be relocated and is currently in the stock...

Heres the corner weights of the car as it sits right now with no driver. I do have to relocate the battery, but its clear there is an issue with the rear suspension. I believe the problem lies in the swaybar mounts. I will need to find some time to get it cornerbalanced correctly.

Look what I just scored:

I was able to torque my lugs down while the car was jacked up and in gear. It wasn't enough torque to differentiate the diff so its doing something... I havent tried disconnecting the sway bar yet.

It is a stock camaro setup with aftermarket (stronger) panhard bar and torque arm. Stock geometry. All joints have been replaced with urethane or solid ends. Tires are old. I have new ones waiting to be put on though, I hope to get them on in the next few days. But the car has always done this...

I made some adjustments to the weight jacks to, what they call in Nascar terms, reduce wedge. It seems like the car is handling better, but it looks like I really need to get some corner weight scales...

The car has Nascar style weight jack screws on all 4 corners. But, I haven't been able to get it corner weighted yet since I have been working to finish the car so it's track worthy; and also because corner weight scales seem rarer than a hens teeth around here. So I have no idea what the corner...

Yes, the front anti roll bar is connected. But this bar is the popular setup from what I understand. Could my corner weights be horribly off?

Yeah, I know about the torque effecting this, but I think my issue is beyond this. I can not put the power down at all, and I have seen other cars like mine actually break traction in a right hand turn. I wonder if I should have just gotten a spool.

Hey guys, this is on my old 3rd gen fbody road racer. For as long as I can remember, I have never been able to put any power down coming out of a right hand turn. As soon as I get on the gas, I instantly light the rear right tire. I have always thought it was a worn out diff, but I finally...

I have these Del-Sphere ends on my car. They feature a steel sphere inside 2 delrin halves. If the delrin starts to wear, you can adjust/tighten them with a special tool. And if they wear out completely, you can rebuild them. They are also greaseable...

How about this? http://www.chevrolet.com/performance/crate-engines/lsx-454.html or LSX 454R Crate Engine - Race Engine | Chevrolet I know... even more overkill...

I dont know about this engine, but i have done this with an S2000 engine. The problem is that the ECU in many (if not all) modern cars does more than just run the engine. Many of the other car functions also can be routed through the ECU, so, there is a lot of extra wires and connections that...

What is that intake Alex?

When the time is right, I have been meaning to go check out this guys replica. My Business - Home This guy seems to be quite the mystery.

I tried calling a shop thats inside the autobahn complex, but they blew me off. Does anyone know a shop or someone who has corner balance scales thats not 'too good' for my American Iron style 3rd gen fbody?

I think the that part of the head has been sectioned for this view...
