Serious loss in Torque

[ripped camel]

to an outsidern00b that may appear to be the case.

in actuality the Kmember swap is more for improving front/rear weight balance & chassis stiffness.

tubular control arms are also for increased stiffness/less deflection

P.S.
NONE of the above has ANY impact on "unprung" weight.

Really? Wow I didn't know you worked for Steeda and were trained on suspension. I guess this is a fallacy then....

TUBULAR K-MEMBERS
QA1's tubular K-members are designed from the ground up for weight savings, improved geometry and as a bolt-in swap for the factory K-member in race applications. May alter wheel base and stance.
. Bolt-In Design All mounting points have been digitally indexed from new, factory K-members.
. Weight Savings Up to 28 lbs. lighter than the factory K-members with increased strength by design.

Yeah no weight savings! Quit acting like you know everything under the sun. You are not a car god. Do you know more than me about cars? yes. Do you know more about every single literal aspect about cars than me? no.

If you were as good as you try to insinuate you would be the next Roush, Steeda, Saleen....Sadly that is not the case. So quit trying to act as though you are the know-all, end-all answer for cars

Also here....
TUBULAR CONTROL ARMS
Tubular control arms reduce unsprung weight while improving weight distribution in race applications. QA1 tubular control arms require the use of QA1 coil-over struts and QA1 caster/camber plates.

Ya, i re-read what i posted, it should ave said Bigger/wider tires=better handling, and i really never thought about the whole unsprung weight thing, makes you think a lot......... So what exactly did they make you read? any certain books or was it physics books?

Dario handed me a Steeda catalog and said I want you to do all the research on our suspension products and when you come back I'll quiz you. If you know what the purpose behind the products is, along with the benefits, you get the job. If not, stop coming back here. (I went in every other day for a month till he finally gave me a shot). Persistence paid off

PS just for kicks i weighed all the boxes up and it totals to around 76lbs!! Keep in mind these are the the old rustly metal boxes lol. Gotta love them. Anyway this seemed to help, i can now burn out!!!


I have 2x 12" Kicker CVR subs in a Super Bass ProBox with a 1000 watt Memphis Amp..this weighs about 220 lbs all together with my spare and I smoke my tires from launch into 3rd gear

I wonder how much faster your car would be if you wiped the sand out of it's vag!!!!

lol you guys are too funny!

Sapperfire is your car stock? If so that's wicked!! You know now that i think of it, my 93 Mark would burnout deep into 2nd gear even when it was running :q:q:q:qty lol.

I think my 96 LSC is a wimp :-(

I have the higher flowing intake tube ( mine is an early model) which came with the dempled intake tube, I have true dual exh with some cheap x pipe and flowmasteresque mufflers " D-40", some pretty 10.2 wires (do nothing for hp) and then the 15hp cobrastars...and a 45hp cobrastar sticker on my back glass

 

[ripped camel]

I agree guinessman, my 97 has yet to chirp going into second gear.

 

[jrherald420]

I dont think it can chirp in first right now......

I think you are right

It will when you get it back. J-Mod is da bomb

 

[Sapperfire]

Yawn

So.... about those IMRCs....
