I take it there is no further need to post what running road course laps with a street car equipped with the better hardware does to the handling and ride both on and off the track.
Starting from stock to the larger tie rods/sleeves to the solid sleeves...Is it possible that a 26 inch tall 10 inch wide tire puts bigger loads on the steering hardware?? You know the tire size that is optimum for these cars other than an a body, but a key piece of info that is overlooked constantly.

When a test passenger whom is not a car person can notice the difference in a car [while just driving around] from changes like tubular uca's a welded k frame, different tires it's obvious the stuff works.

It's great to ask questions to learn but to poke at subjects with no practical experience other than a calculator and race car experience is not nice. Race cars are not the old crap we drive.

Remember the goal - we are trying to build street cars that can run laps and drive like a new car. If you think this forum is for racing you are in the wrong place. How many of us can afford to go racing??? If you have $650.00 you can come run 2 days on thunder road with me and see if your calculators are right. June 25-26, 2012
