Ya above the neutral line for radials but the location of the bars in that photo will give you an IC of about 120" and 8" off the ground
setup like that will never hook a radial
If you don't swat the Radial into the ground off the line then it's over they won't recover with pedalling

You must have been doing this a long time to get that from a photo lol. That's experience talking.

Yeah so the top link on the frame needs to come down quite a bit. It'll put my instant center somewhere in the 35"-45" range. Probably between 150-165%

Been at it for a day or two
only do it cause I'm too stubborn to quit
But anyways you may even find you'll need to move your lower bar up on the chassis to get the results you need
What's your ride height at the front of the rear wheel opening and what is the measurement from your cam and crank centerlines to the ground?
Also how much of your turbo system hangs in front of the motor?

Let me do some figuring
that engine is low wow
Might have to be quite aggressive with the height of your IC to get it to work

Sorry that 15" was the crank centerline. Yeah it's pretty low. I put my top link 15 degrees down and bottom link is 5 degrees up.

The degree of the bar is somewhat irrelevant
in your previous post what is the 11" measurement refering to?
Numbers needed are:
axle centerline to ground
location of all holes on diff brackets to ground and how far ahead of the axle centerline
Length of 4 link bars top and bottom
Location of all holes on chassis brackets to ground

35 spline axles, spool, bearings and diff cover came in from moser. Got it all together and in the truck. Been a while since it's been rolling with it's own wheels.

Are you putting metal or plastic tubs ?
The best stuff to use to fasten them to the quarter panels is Plexus but it's hard to find
it stays semi flexible and is super strong
The flexibility makes it so it doesn't print a giant circle in you quarter panel paint

Probably 20 gauge sheet metal.. since I have all the tools to make them out of that. Shrinker/stretcher/bead roller/etc. Although, I've been wanting to try carbon fiber.
I was going to use panel bond to attach them to the sides. Expensive, but I've used it in the past with good results.

Working from "home" so started tackling the tedious stuff... wiring. Trying to keep everything concealed under the dash. Still have more to go.

Thank you. Wiring is definitely one of those things that looks terrifying, but is much easier once you get into it. Most things are just positive/ground with variations depending on amperage/voltage draw. The challenging part I find is laying everything out in my head. Sounds like a great course to get your feet wet, where are you taking it?

What do you need help with? I have a basic diagram for doing things like lights, turn signals, etc. I've attached a pdf document for it.

My wiring looks crazy because I'm running Holley and an ARC switch. Holley controls pretty much everything engine wise, including my PWM fans, fuel pump, boost control, 2 step, etc.

mine will be just as complicated. All the factory stuff plus, efi, dual stage dump valve for the tranny, ice box pump, leash pulse/boosr box. I have never even wired a radio. My brother always did the wiring because that's what he like doing. He ain't around anymore so this will be the first time I wont have someone around to wire.

The engine stuff is all wired and tuned enough until I can get it out on the road. Added a wastegate dump and my friend decided to take a low quality video.
