Rear shock placement

[MrQuick]

this seems like a nice chest beating between racers... I think you got it wrong Yody,a buttdyno or butt-o-mometer measures revolution or RPM HP not pulling torque.Your thinking of a asser-ometer that measures a$$ felt acceleration. I've seen Den's Elco and it seems pretty fast, cause he cant keep the paint on it.I still have paint chips in my grill,thank you very much.
Builders / racers / restorers / painters / carpenters / etc...all do things differently to get the same end product. It is what ever works for that individual. If some of these guys wanna do it the hard or long way. let them. Either way tuning is going to be required. I have the F' it and do it attitude, so trial and error building is what in accustom with.Its just hard for me to grasp the use of a CAD program. I have to see it in action so thats where im headed.I wish I had the funding to do various testing and pre planning cause I have alot of very good ideas and plans that where inspired by Steve Smith, Sikora , K , Norm and others from this board.I've been planning a 3 link since last summer and i am getting close. Shock placement was one hurdle. Should have a rolling chassis by November.
Remember my stateing the lower mount needing to be 8" below the axle center line was a typo by the author so thats done right. productive thoughts please
