IC for a Four-Link
Does anybody knows and would like to share where is the best IC for a Four-Link in a 3er gen for dragracing?
I know that there are many factors afecting this point, wheelbase, tire size, cars weight, engine torque, etc,
etc, Does anybody knows the recipe or better yet a formula for the best IC.
I think that there is got to be a better way for calculating this, I do not believe that try and error method is the best way of doing this, there is got to be a mathematical way of calculating this, Anyone?
Regards,
Bruno

Get some chassis books. If you know where the center of gravity is on the car, you can calculate where to put the instant center to generate the amount of anti-squat you want.
The question is how much anti-squat do you need? I do not think this can be easily mathematically calculated because it depends on factors not easily quantified. You can get it close but in the end you'll still have to do some trial and error.
