Can you do a video on factory stock/pure stock for spring setup? 3200lb car

What if the right rear is compressed to much? Not sure how to get weight off RR without adding bite. Trying to stay at 40 lbs of bite. 225lbs spring and it is compressing to 10". All of the lead is off of the car. Also I put my preload spring on and it holds the left rear way to high. 100lbs spring with 2.25 inches of preload. Any suggestions?

Thank you for all the information

im sure its a dumb question but will shocks with schrader valves still preform with no gas pressure? What psi are normal for tie down shocks?

Jay... Wanted to ask or have you discuss the difference in the amount it takes to deflect the TH spring vs normal spring in the RR. Sportmods specifically with the IMCA rules forcing us to run the spring relativly straight up and down at ride height that results in the spring deflecting at attitude. We both know as a spirng deflects it loses rate. My thought was if the TH spring takes more energy to defelect (Not sure if it does or not, just my hypothisis) then that would add side bite with the spring pushing lateraly fighting to holding shape vs deflecting resulting in more side bite in the RR then a spring that deflects easier. Just a theory of mine. Let me know your thoughts? Yes, I watched the video to the end.

Very Great Info On Springs , Thank You

What is a symptom if you have too little RR load.

how do you setup that lr 175 for scaling? do you put it at a certain load or set with the old school bite?

I just picked up a clean Larson IMCA... its a bit dated... so I'll be looking at purchasing a modern pullbar, brackets, J-bar, birdcages, etc. Any suggestions. 😊 I'm a SS guy switching to IMCA mods.

I just don’t understand this. After I set the preload in LR and RR, do I not worry about the ride height in the rear? Do I not worry about LR bite?

Hi Jay, when you say 3" travel are you referring to eye to eye or LCA bolt or frame height? Thanks.

I've been out of it for close to 20 yrs. Good info. Sub'd!

How about a leaf spring video? I haven’t really seen you touch on these cars. Thank you!

I definitely lean towards apexing in sector 1 , but my car will not rotate or turn very well on or off gas. I have to muscle it around the corner and over drive it. Any tips? (Stock 4-link rear)

Thanks for the information Jay. Just joined team bsb gonna call you tomorrow to order the pullbar adjuster.

What if there a small arc but high embankment? I race the Emo speedway

Thank you for your videos, running a street stock and struggling to keep up with a few of the top cars that win every weekend. I will begin the binge

This was incredibly helpful! I’ve done the Harris classes, read books, and watched tons of videos which definitely helps, but nobody talks about how to drive. This was what I needed to know. First night out after watching this I felt way better in the car. Thank you!!!

Thanks again Mr Jay for taking the time to make these!

Thanks Mr Jay. I love these videos you put out it helps a lot of us keep them coming please.

Thank you Jay! These can’t come soon enough for me. Love the information

Very good stuff Jay, thank you!

Last I knew the checkered flag 🏁 is always waved on corner exit … So with that said it makes no sense to Race as hard as u can I to corner entry just so u have to slow down and pay for that on corner exit.. So it’s ok to back your entry up so that you can get all u can on your corner exit where the W 🏁 $$ is waving!! So many guys in race with all just PlOW into the corners and then usually are spinning out center / off 🤦🏼 and they don’t learn either I always make sure my exit is always perfect and yea sometimes I back the entry up just a tad but guess what not a 1 beats me on exit. I think allot of these guys that over driver entry do so cause their gearing is wrong and or they’re finally thinking they are catching some cars lmao 😂. Racing isn’t for everybody Mr Jay I’ve given up trying to help these kinda guys cause there nodding like they get it but then they go out there wk after wk lap after lap and do the exact bs that u just preached to them. 🤦🏼. My track does 3 spins and your done cause sadly a few of em loop it every single lap.. 😂🤷🏼

Jay, thank you so much for making these videos. I am brand new to racing, running a hobby stock class. I set up my car with your shocks and springs, now I just need to learn how to drive. These videos should help tremendously. It would actually be beneficial for me and I assume other Newer drivers for you to break down Driver actions even more. As an example, braking at the end of the straightaway, then turning. Are you releasing the brake completely then turning, easing off of the brake while beginning your turn? Dragging brake while applying throttle? As you are applying power through the turn, how sideways should you allow the car to get? Basically none? Minimal? 1-2 feet out? At what point are you sacrificing speed? I realize this is going to be different for different classes of car. But I am assuming most beginners start with beginner classes. Thank you again for these videos!

16:04 It clicked for me. I know the difference between drive and momentum. But how to apply it to the car and what I need out of it at a given spot on the track, that's where it got confusing. Wasn't exactly sure which driving style I was trying to accomplish. It seems like a simple idea but this will help me a lot. Thanks Jay!

I appreciate your videos, subscribed and shared, thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!

Jay- I've been having issue with my rf shock I feel as if it didn't have enough rebound. When I get on the gas the rf lifts up instead of pinning down. I felt as if my rf was moving through the spring too fast kind of like a spring board on the rf. You've been working with my shock guy, Guy Sutton 3 daughters racing. He's contributed greatly to my program.

A mod spring in front 230/250 shaft down in Nevada

thanks again for the insight

13” 225 rr spring on top - IN SD

i made it to the end, is that spring going to be sold with one of your packages

Good info. I could see the benefits of the th on the RR

Always intrigued by the information you put out. It stimulates thought. Correct thought makes one fast. I made it to the end of the video. I need to know. I'm processing how to apply your tech to a "Hobby" class (south Texas). There is only so much "adjustment" we can do. I'm always looking out for your next video...keep em coming. Thanks

He made it look so easy

Made it to the end. Nothing is as well made as it was 20-30-40 years. Even the people.

Omg $50 shock claimer rule where the F are u getting a shock for $50 Im guessing Autozone stock / stock / stock type shock 🤦🏼 yikes. Atleast let em run a AK series Bilstein shock as they are $89-100.. No wonder why these dirt Hobbys handle like 💩

Made it to the end as usual. Great info as always. About to pull the trigger on some springs so I can get my IStock on the ground. You are providing me info to make an educated choice. Thanks for sharing.

Made to the end. Thanks for your time I appreciate it

This is great information. We are trying to put a southwest sport mod together. We will be in contact with you on getting springs for it when we get closer closer. I just subscribed aswell. And we made the complete video aswell. God bless you to sir.

I made it of course.

Do some asphalt info shows to ..

Made it! Looking forward to next video

I run a factory stock in Illinois.(ump) both springs are center. My chassis builder is very adamant about running a 13” (250) in the LR and 11”in the RR (200) I’m struggling with it bad super tight in the middle (like trying to turn the dump truck in wet sand)on the brakes, throttle brakes throttle I know I’m completely upsetting the car, but I cannot get through any other way. but he seems the think I’m over driving it in..I can’t wait for you to get the mapping video done because I’ll waiting to watch it.. I do appreciate you taking the time to do these videos it does help!!

made it to the end. Your videos are always worth watching all the way through! thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Made it to the end of the video... Thank you Jay for all your videos.. There always seems to be a learning take away in every video.

Wow, good information and yes, I made it to the end.....

Made it to the end! Thanks Jay

I made it! lol. Another video packed with awesome info! Thanks for taking the time to make these videos Mr Jay. Looking forward to the rest of the videos about track sections.
