Left side chain drop

[twisterf5]

We have had a "heated" discussion going on around the shop for about a month. Let's say we scale the car, set it up, set the chain length, etc, etc....and we go to the track. At the shop we set the chain to get an upper bar angle of 45 degrees. We get to the track and decide to move the left upper bar up a hole on the chassis. Do we then shorten the chain at the track to get it back to 45 degrees or do we leave the chain the same length (assuming the shock doesn't bind or top out) and let the bar have more then 45 degrees in it?? thanks

45 is the sweet spot any thing over 48 then you are putting the car in a bind if you have to go over 45 you need to look some were else for your problem.the chain will also help keep the lf on the ground. we run a chain with a biscuit and we set it at 45 the car is more consistent that way.some sort of chain is a must now a days.

let me add this why would you take your car to the track with your bars maxed out . if you can get your drive out of it at 35/38 why bring it at 45.

You have a lot of other places to look at the track. Don't forget there is a steer component there as well.
