I still have the stock steel hood and except for the front bumper, retain all the factory sheet metal. I did just pull the bench seat in favor of twin Kirkey aluminum seats. This year will be the first year that the car is below 4,000 lbs with driver. There’s lots of opportunity for further...

Different strokes for different folks for sure, and I’m not trying to change your mind but here’s a side by side of both spindles. B-body is all black, M2 is the other. I cut the steering arm off, but as you can see, It’s plenty beefy. The difference is, the mass is placed where it’s needed and...

The RMS stuff I have is all Mustang II/Pinto based as well.

There have been a few changes, lol. After owning a couple black cars, I decided against it for upkeep reasons. Besides, the blackout look is somewhat played out. It’ll be Petty Blue now. I picked up twin 88mm Forced Induction turbos which should be a substantial step up from the twin 76s I’m...

Diving back into the Ackerman part of this, it would appear that Ackerman angle is not even a possibility in a front steer setup given the wheel and tire combos most of us run. And, to make matters worse, you get the opposite effect with front steer. Dare I call it Anti-Ackerman? Lol. I haven’t...

Superbird thread. It’s been a long term project

In the fixture prior to tapping the tubes for rod ends.

Lol, been there done that not going back for more!

Double adjustable is great for sure, although once it’s aligned, it’s not like I make changes regularly. I run 157mph and definitely like the stability of positive caster. My other car should run 200plus mph. I want it smooth and predictable.

Interesting. I made my own uppers with spherical rod ends. They still require removal for adjustments if the cam bolts alone can’t get it done. I’ll be building a new set for more front suspension travel.

It’s all good stuff to read but there’s no decisions to be made here. I bought my RMS in 2006 so it’s bought and paid for. It works fine for what I do. I built my own version of it in 2019 for my Superbird to make some changes that seem to suit my cars better. That k-member is currently under my...

The increased turning radius and reduced travel are definitely drawbacks over stock, as is the expense. Both issues contribute to the reasons why I’m reworking this one.

I have not experienced either of these issues. The turning radius is much less than stock but the ackerman seems close enough. I can dial in enough caster to where it self centers fine. I have built my own version of it and am now completely reworking the original one I purchased. There are...

The factory front suspension is well designed and, with some minor tweaks can be set up to very effectively work with both drag racing and handling scenarios. I am completely reworking an RMS K-member and it got me to thinking about what everyone here is using.

Just looking to see what everyone prefers for drag race style front suspensions. Feel free to list other options I missed.

What did you find?

Nothing losing power. I’m only at 17psi on those runs. I think it’ll go 170 in the quarter when it’s turned up.

I did but it was an 1/8 mile track

This will be my year to get out of the nines... @dvw , did you start an 8 seconds or faster thread yet?

Paramount with EFI. Monte was definitely a legend and extremely smart with the internal combustion process in general not limited to nitrous.
