Choice between HP or Grip....

Those pics draw attention to the big orange tube going into the boss manifold....what diameter is that??

As you add more grip with the tires, also reconsider/revisit your setup in the rear. Using a bit of anti-squat makes sense at street tire grip levels, but after running slicks I think using more squat could improve corner exit with a relatively small turn-in though mid-corner trade-off.

In other words, while an anti-squat setup might let you get on the throttle sooner, a squat setup could let you get on the throttle more through corner exit.

Tires matter most.

Four 315s could fit (I've seen it done), but not with harness bar. Ask me how I know (Oops). I now have a small tire trailer that I drag to events. Works great.

Whatever the rules say it can be, it's regulated, it just happens to be covered by insulation

Looks like a silicone/fire insulator slipped over the intake tube to me.

Thats a lot of cambers

Lucky for me I have a bolt in harness bar!! No trying to lift the dam things at impossible angles......

Those tires are 305/680/18 as I recall (my problem is I work on too many cars/tires so I refer to my notes in the car hauler) so there's plenty of rubber on that car, the intake tube is just insulation and it has a restrictor placed in there.
Of course you'd never want to run that on the street, that would be nuts , and we don't run 6 degrees all the time, but we'd like to go there if needed.

Nice pics, that intake system looks like it might also be tied into L/Front fender air.

Just to be sure I am on the same page... More anti squat would be more angle on the rear Lca's? At 4 degrees at the moment. So squat, more horizontal and anti squat, more angle? Some times I feel like I don't know squat.......

It's not, it's highly regulated, just a bunch of rubber around it to try and get it from engine heat.

If you lower the axle side of the rear LCA, you increase anti-squat. If you raise the axle side of the rear LCA, you decrease anti-squat.

LOL.

And yes you got that right, but squat settings could also be beyond horizontal and pointing down/front. Not a setting I'd recommend for street tires, but slicks on a track with a lot of turns or a tight track could benefit.

Just food for thought. I'm looking at making similar changes for Streets of Willow, but not for Chuckwalla or Laguna Seca.

yes.

 

[blacksheep-1]

Well....squat.

 

[Mad Hatter]

Ha!! so more squat can get me to lift my inside wheel....Thats been my goal for a long time. Like a GTA Alfa from way back.... Those are the 305 Pirelli tires?

 

[Tri-bar]

This is the slot they are talking about.

 

[Mad Hatter]

I did something like that but I was somewhat more timid, I guess being a little more aggressive with the Dremel can get me a 1/2 degree more.

305.. I think, we've run 315 hoosiers...they might be 325...hell I don't know..it's in my notes.
You guys have to realize I manage tires for a Porsche GT3R, a Porsche cup car, at least 1 GTS Mustang, 3, T2 mustangs , a T3, mustang, 3 GT2 Corvettes and a T1 Mustang, they then change the tire rules every few months to keep me in line..let alone compounds. Sometimes I deal with 8 cars at one event...over 40sets (160 tires) all with different pressures, sizes, driving styles and set ups.

Must be fun!!
