The gentlemen above are correct. When calculating the oscillation frequency of two springs in series, the effective rate is used. So a single 200lb/in spring will have the same frequency as two 400lb/in springs in series with an effective rate of 200lb/in.
Thanks for watching. A lot of times I try to keep it basic enough for a larger audience to get something from it. I'm a late model guy so that is the direction I kind of lean.
A lot of your information is great for the late model guys but I'm a modified guy so no stacking springs for me so a lot of this I don't think does me any good ? So it would I would be changing rebound and compression on a shock with not stacking springs ?
Thanks for watching. A lot of mod guys are changing shocks to adjust to the changing track conditions. Just changing to a shock will affect your car a ton. As the track slows down, you will get less weight transfer to the right. Opening up the bleed area on the right side shocks will speed up the weight transfer as the track conditions slow the transfer down.
I want to say people are doing this. Ive seen people swapping shock packages at the track. What would be your opinion on a valving choice for a non adjustable integra nitrogen shock ,for a dry slick track
I love the non-adjustable Integras. I think that is their best shock if they have base valves in them. On the slick, I always like opening up the bleed (low-speed range) and then ramping them up from there. It's almost like a progressive valving. I always liked when bumping the bleed up, to increase the top end to catch the car in case the car hits a hole or cushion. You don't want it to collapse too hard if it hits something. The bigger bleed will promote more traction. Thanks for watching.
Like spring rate, I have a hunch the frequency will halve too when 2 are stacked. I have no data on this, just a hunch.
Maybe, I’d have to think about this more. I’ll see if I can find something in my books.
Frequency decreases as spring are added in series.

Thanks Kevin!
Thank you for watching.
Can't wait till the next issue. I race a hobby stock, so nothing directly translates, but I can correlate the trend. Keep it coming

whats ur local track
We just mainly tour around with the Dirt Kings series here in Wisconsin. I’m at Fairbury or Farmers City as much as possible though.
@@HoganTechnologiesLLC dang lol I’m from north east Oklahoma
