  • Front End limiters, Poor man mods to G-Body front end to control wheelies and limit front end separation on the launch with G Body shuffle. This will absolutely help you fine tune your launch to control weight transfer. G-Body suspensions are extremely easy to tune and high performance parts are easily available. We are switching over to the QA1 Double Adjustable front coilover shocks, but this mod is a good one for sure! With the poor man remember to run a good shock, these were 90/10 shocks to control the font end coming down. We also run a steering stabilizer shock!
    This new build is a Blown SBC Gen1 Boosted - SBC 406 Dart SHP block with Callies crank, Callies rods, and custom Diamond Pistons with a 8-71 Roots Blower from The Blower Shop with helical rotors, ATI turbo 400 and 4-link coilover Ford 9 inch. Planning on starting with 22 lbs of boost on methanol with a FuelTech ECU and dual wideband O2 sensors. This is a 48 Ford powered by chevy!

    How long is the bolt? Going to do this soon on my S10 to improve reaction times. I'm getting 6 inches of front end travel and it's slowing the front tires out of the beam on launch. At least that's my theory lol.

      I will have to measure when I am back at the shop... We bought a long bolt like around 6" and cut it to length... Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!

    You got the control arms on the wrong side. Fyi

    • @KevinWilsonSBC
      @KevinWilsonSBC  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good eye, but we alway run about 6 - 7 degree positive caster in our track only cars. By flipping them we are able to increase the caster for the track and keep camber at 0 degrees, then 1/8" toe in. If this were a street/strip car we would flip them back around and keep caster around 3 degrees positive. When we replaced the uppers control arms with the fully adjustable we took the same approach to keep the caster. I have a video on that also. Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!

    So nut gets welded to control arm or frame? Like the tutorial

    • @KevinWilsonSBC
      @KevinWilsonSBC  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      James Irving thanks so much for your question! The nut must be welded to the control arm for my tutorial. That way the nut and bolt are made to move with the upper control arm and as the control arm swings down on the frontend rise, the bolt comes in contact with the frame and stop the A Arms from continuing to swing down.

      Sean that completely depends on each car for sure. With the 48 Ford, we have limited it to a total of about 1" right now on the prepped tracks. Go Fast, go straight! Be Safe!

    So, in actuallity you are fine tuning your center of transfer? All the weight hits the moment the traction is under the rear tire.
