Drivers, which brand or model of fresh air helmet have felt the best (or worse) for you?
Mainly looking at Simpson's or Bell's
Thanks for your input-

I've used weight clamps for top shock mounts, I made a 0.10" shim to allow the heim end free movement away from the clamp, and ran a bolt in the backside for an extra point of insurance, never had an...

Be very proud. It looks 100 times better than my first car. It's different, but the vitals are all there, and nothing wrong with having something a little different than the guy beside you.

The general rule we tend to follow is 52% Left, 52% Rear, and keep the cross under 55%.

caster/camber shouldn't effect it after a few laps, that's something your going to feel from Lap 1. Are you using a soft tire or a harder tire with a bunch of cuts? (**on the RF**) From experience...
-
just an idea, is it taking your LR tire that much longer to come in and then it starts out-pulling the RR?
-
I don't know what tires you are running, but I run late model tires on 10" rims, beadlock on RR only (just my preference, some guys don't run any) I run my T.P.'s at 10-LF 14-RF 9-LR 12-RR. The less...

Thank You for the link! Always looking for simple, useful equipment

Never played with them on a Street Stock, but wrenched on Late Models that ran them. I am clueless as to where to start for a 3300lb car, and all I can say is I hope your track is smooth or you'll be...

I run a 62", it gives you the option to run different offset wheels. Although once I found my niche, i haven't changed offsets since.
-
I believe the Caprice was based off the A-bodys if im not mistaken, its not a horrible choice as long as you can cut the wheelbase down.
-
how much hotter are you talking? I have never had my lr as hot as my rr, and talking to fellow competitors, they seem to feel the same, at least with the metric cars. We run late model tires in our...

This is a fellow competitors car, they used the front clip, greenhouse and doors off of the mid 90's cars. Its a pretty clean looking car.

John at JDR Performance rebuilt my stock 4412 that we had laying around, it hasn't missed a beat.

I have a factory metric rear, and now mine is 3 wheeling more and more because the track is staying heavier. I tried stiffening the RR spring 25# but the car went to poop. Should I raise both spring...
-
All great info. Just keep in mind, the more rear steer you have, the looser the handling will become. Shouldn't be an issue if the rear is in the car correctly, just check your wheelbase. Just a tip...
-
thanks for all the helpful advice. Is there any amount of tolerance in the differential being square to the chassis? I'm a firm believer in the small adjustments, so i'll sift through the checklist. ...
-
Some of the more vague info is:
51.7% rear
52.4% left
200 lb split across the front (spring rates)
50 lb split across the rear (spring rates)
camber is -4.5 on rf
toe is 3/8 out
running...

I have a gotten my car to work fairly well, but from the center off it feels like I have no steering control, it just wants to push up the track. I've tried more static weight on the RF, less wedge,...

I'm running GM. Thanks for the info again. And what do you mean by pick up? I'm stupid when it comes to electronics and the distributor, and they hate me as well. I read the directions word for word...
-
tried the extra ground, still didn't solve the issue. Seems to be getting worse. What is the part number for the DUI distributor you fellas are running?
Thanks for the info

Using a dummy 3rd member jig, solid rod and our own fixture is how we straighten our rears. Done hundreds of them through the street rod business, straightened mine plenty of times. The older/reused...

Thanks for the heads up. I read through some of their troubleshooting forum on their site, what I'm thinking is the problem is it just needs cleaned out really well and make sure everything is...
