I also found out that it weighs 2410LB with me in it. If i can get the boost controller to work right it should run 10s on pump no problem. That thing is hella fun to drive too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its great to see you out there bud , great job keep it up

I finally got off my lazy *** and plotted my 4-links instants centers. I found that i was waaaaaaay off from where i should be. That would explain my 60' times being a little off. My instant centers were at 108.1" and my anti squat was at -5.4%. For those of you who don't understand that, basically the 4-link was pulling the differential up causing the car to squat. If everything is set up correctly you should have a anti squat as close to 100% as possible. That means that the car will neither squat nor separate (lift) in the rear. I am doing to make a few adjustments and try again .


This is where it is now.

And this is where it needs to be.

If anyone is in the market for a 4-link software i highly recommend this program.

They are not going to reply to your e-mails because they are allready aware that you have no clue what you're doing!

I figured for sure they would seize the opportunity to tell me that i have no clue what i am doing and that i should just sell the car and buy a bicycle. It is a good thing that there are people like you to help out people like me. If your ever in TX swing by San Antonio and show me how to drive this thing!!!


Oh and for the record, i DO know what i am doing i just don't know HOW to do it.

You know what they say! When all else fails go back to basics.
A compressor valve from Sears will give you all the boost you want without any headaches. Never onced failed me. Ever wonder why why most race cars run them.

I think i may finally be onto something. I took the rear wastegate apart last night and the diaphragm had blown off the piston. there was a massive internal leak. I am going to order up another and see what happens. It was in one piece and not riped until i tried to put it back on. I will get another coming and try her again.

Learning is fun!!!

Manual valve FTW. Wastegate spring pressure is for pumpgas, hook up the manual valve for the high psi racegas setting. Want to go back to pump gas? Just pull the controller back off and run it on the spring. Easy simple way to have two boost settings.
