Well I don't think you would have been under such criticism if you would have posted a picture that actually showcased the suspension part in question. People have been asking for pictures of the suspension for weeks and when you finally post a picture you post one of parts of the suspension that weren't even in question. You could understand everyone's frustration can't you?

The suspension picture was posted installed in the car not as parts laid out on a table. I simply can't understand what your getting at. It's too bad the picture came down because the entire suspension was visible, even the driveshaft was removed to make it easy to see.

If the NHRA teched the car and it certified under stock suspension rules, would that solve the question or would this crap continue? It seems to me that the rules are trying to somewhat emulate NHRA rules, so why not get the car teched and certified by them, then it wouldn't matter anymore what was under there.

What area are we talking about?? I showed the shocks, the LCA's, the T/A and you could see the springs and stock rear frame rails. What the hell else do you want. Like I said before the picture wont do squat. Everybody is negative no matter what.
Also we don't work on the car everyday, after a race it goes back in the trailor and is parked an hour away untill next race. I can't take pics at any second unfortunatly. That pic I found by fluke after searching 30 discs!

OOOH, Wow, my shock is moved. 1.35 60's here I come!

Since your so smart, what is the difference from moving a shock mount and a torque arm mount?

WHen I get a NHRA tech to pass the car, you'll be sucking on both my nuts Seriously though, if the motor went in another car, it would still go 8.50's or 8.60's especially at 3000lbs minimum weight required. BTW its legal for the Thunder SHootout

NHRA tech is looking at the photo as you type, I am sure they will decide in your favor, but you still cannot run in our race....Seriously!!!! Not legal for next year though.....Thunder has already changed that..But come on down anyway, I am sure you could mop up in the Thunder race....I would love to see your car run.. At 167MPH that car is moving........

How does moving a shock mount help at all? Maybe this is just me, but some people are acting like real ********, especially considering the fact that who runs in that race doesn't have any effect on them.

Once again vette, what advantage does moving the shock mount do? And don't say wider tires.

READ THIS
All cars must have LCAs in stock holes on body, relocation brackets are allowed as long as they are attached to factory saddle on rear end housing. Shocks and springs must be in stock mounting holes and location. Torque arms must attach to rearend housing the same as stock front mount must have only one attachment point. Rear frame rail allowed a MINITUB to clear tire. FRAME raail must be there and in stock location.





What I cannot figure out is why you and other people cannot understand "Stock Location and Mount Points" More than likely you could throw the shock away...But even better.. If you are so smart as the rest of you that do not understand plain english, Tell me why you want to move it if it does not make any difference????
