เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 30 ม.ค. 2023
A hot rod channel for hot rod enthusiasts. I cover all kinds of awesome topics for muscle cars, race cars, motorcycles, drag racing, and so on. I deal with hot rod and racing history, engine theory, engine technical education, Harley-Davidson education, and much much more. After building engines for over 25 years and running a full time Harley speed shop for over 15 years I have accumulated a ton of knowledge I'd like to share. Want to make your car faster? I got the content you need. Want to rip down the road on your Harley? I got dyno proven proof of what works and what doesn't. Do you just like talking about and learning about cars in general? This is your one stop shop. Welcome to Rage Racing!
Racing Physics: Class #8. Ladder Bar vs 4-Link Suspension
In this episode of Racing Physics, I describe some of the differences between a ladder bar rear suspension versus a 4-link rear suspension and how differently they react in the chassis of a drag car upon launch.
The information provided here is right out of Dave Morgan's book "Door Slammers: The Chassis Book. This book has insight on how to construct and tune the suspension on your own race car.

Racing Physics: Class #7. Finding the center of gravity on your race car
มุมมอง 8221 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
In this episode of Racing Physics I show how to correctly find the center of gravity in your race car in three dimensions. Front to rear, side to side, and up and down. With good 4 corner scales and some math you can triangulate the exact point of the center of gravity which could be an invaluable tool for tuning your chassis and suspension.
Racing Physics: Class #6. Gassers! Wheelies! and Vectors!
มุมมอง 8114 วันที่ผ่านมา
In this episode of Racing Physics I talk about the iconic Gasser drag cars of the 1960's and why they look the way they do because of the science behind them using a simple aspect of physics called vectors. Enjoy!
Rage Racing Product Review (1): Harley-Davidson V-Rod Fuel Level Sender from Tri-Starr Radiator
มุมมอง 14228 วันที่ผ่านมา
(Updated Video with better audio) In this video I repair a common problem with early Harley-Davidson V-Rods, the fuel level sending unit. No longer do you have to put up with a broken fuel gage that does not register or pay stupid amounts of money for used sending units on e-bay. I just happened to find Tri-Starr radiator on the internet in a desperate attempt to find a replacement fuel level s...
Build Project 1: Harley-Davidson M8 107 to 124 Part 3: Finish the Engine and Dyno Tune
มุมมอง 747หลายเดือนก่อน
Hello! In this third of three videos I take a 107 cubic inch Harley-Davidson M-8 engine in a 2018 Road Glide and install an S&S 124 cubic inch big bore pistons and cylinders as well as a big 64mm throttle body and 6.1g/s injectors. The bike already had a S&S 475 cam and D&D 2 into 1 exhaust. This video will show step by step the completion of the top end of the engine left over from video 2 and...

Hello! In this second of three videos I take a 107 cubic inch Harley-Davidson M-8 engine in a 2018 Road Glide and install an S&S 124 cubic inch big bore pistons and cylinders as well as a big 64mm throttle body and 6.1g/s injectors. The bike already had a S&S 475 cam and D&D 2 into 1 exhaust. This video will show step by step the build up of the top end of the engine.

Hello! In this first of three videos I take a 107 cubic inch Harley-Davidson M-8 engine in a 2018 Road Glide and install an S&S 124 cubic inch big bore pistons and cylinders as well as a big 64mm throttle body and 6.1g/s injectors. The bike already had a S&S 475 cam and D&D 2 into 1 exhaust. This video will show step by step the tear down of the top end of the engine.
Racing Physics: Class #5. Your Cylinder Head Flow Tells Your Potential Horsepower! Cool Engine Math!
มุมมอง 2.5K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
Hello Class! In this episode I talk about the Flow Bench and how it is used as well as some fun formulas for figuring your ultimate horsepower POTENTIAL based solely on the CFM of your cylinder heads and the RPM at which that power will occur based on displacement. Enjoy! Plus as a bonus if you watch to the end I tease the future of this channel and some of the content I will be posting.
Racing Physics: Class #4. Why Horsepower, not Torque, ultimately matters most.
มุมมอง 4.2K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
In this lesson, I describe why horsepower is ultimately used to measure race engine performance instead of torque. Here I bring back the same V-Rod vs. big bore Twin Cam as an example of two extremes of the types of engines that are out there: Big inch monster torque engines with high horsepower at relatively low RPM and smaller lower torque engines making high horsepower at very high RPMs.
Racing Physics: Class #3. 790 ft/lbs Torque Harley Sportster 1200! Gear Ratios the Great Equalizer
มุมมอง 4843 หลายเดือนก่อน
In this episode I talk about and show through multiple examples how gear ratios have a major effect on how a vehicle transmits power to the ground. I use examples of motorcycles, a hot rod, and a pickup truck. Gear multiplication is one of the most overlooked and misunderstood aspect of performance today. I hope this video helps educate you on the topic and gets you to think about not only how ...
Racing Physics: Class #2. Horsepower vs. Torque? Why do so many get this wrong?
มุมมอง 8943 หลายเดือนก่อน
Here I try to describe the relationship between horsepower and torque in an engine with focus on high performance builds. I see so much garbage out there saying things like "Horsepower is how hard you hit the wall and Torque is how far you push the wall" or some such nonsense. I also see garbage like a high horsepower engine can't make good torque and visa versa. All nonsense. I've also seen ot...
Racing Physics: Class #1, How does ignition timing work? The Basics.
มุมมอง 2284 หลายเดือนก่อน
Racing Physics: Class 1 This is the introductory video for the Rage Racing TH-cam channel. Here I tell a relatively well-known story about how Don Garlits figured out how to get the 426 Chrysler Hemi to run in Top Fuel at its full potential in 1965. This leads into a discussion about the very basics of ignition timing. I explain with great clarity what goes on inside all engines, stock or hi-pe...
Dyno Result! 1993 Harley-Davidson FXR
มุมมอง 2.1K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Dyno run and power output from a Harley-Davidson FXR 80 inch Evolution engine with very simple modifications which added substantial amounts of torque and incredible boost in power especially considering most of it is still stock. All I did was add 10 to 1 pistons, bolt-in Andrews cam, Arlen Ness air cleaner, perform some mild porting to the cylinder head, add a Thunderheader exhaust, and updat...
