i seriously wonder why that is,almost every video i have watched of a ty,or sy that is in the sub10 sec range they seem to "wobble"almost all the way down the track....any thoughts?

Looks like just a good combination of front limiters adjusted correctly, good shocks and tires, correct tire pressures, not too much boost at launch... maybe the slightly higher weight of the engine/tranny combo in a Typhoon body helps??

If you pause the video on the launch you see the front come up an inch and the rear squat an inch, and it maintains that stance clear down the track.... If the front came way up it would move the center of gravity too far towards the rear... kind of like how a skate board gets squirely if you get way back on it.

It just hunkers down on all four and stays there - really nice runs.

Am I the only one that thinks his transfer case is fried? :dunno:

I mean think aboot it for a second....35/65 front/rear,but magically he only burns off the LF tire? Something is wrong.

If U think about it, its quite simple to figure it out..

Open diff in front, fries left front tire, and the lokation is the same as an upside down AND front lokated REAR axl (that fries the right rear tire)

Besides that U have the chassie twist helping on this

Re: 9 sec typhoon video

the burnout seems to have alot of smoke from the left front and almost none from the rear. Maybe it's because the rears were in the water? I need to look again to see if the rears are spinning at speed.

did the anouncer say that you were running against the world's quickest 2010 camaro?

very nice run. I'm surprised how smooth it runs down the track.

he was mis-taken,that is our shop car he was speaking about,there was a possibility that it would have been the quickest 2010,but due to clutch failure it didnt happen.

im sure the t-case works fine you are correct the burn-out box at this track is situated in an awkward position for the truck,we edited out the 2nd burn out but there was plenty of smoke off the rear tires....this should clear up any questions of the t-case

I think this is the main reason it leaves so straight:tup:

thanks for posting the pics,actually i havent doen any tuning on this 4 link set-up,set the pinion angle and let it rip,and rip it did....spent 6 hours last night completly removing and recuilding the upper 4 link mounts due to failure at the frame rail,apparently the 1.4 short time was too much for the way i had it built:oops:now it is so over built i think it would hold up to a top fuel car:rotf:we'll see tomorrow if i can get a better short time and inturn a better over-all time

x2!

I'm pretty sure with the torque we produce that the rearend moves side to side, causing misalignment, which on an AWD vehicle causes LOTS of problems..... Has anyone installed a Watts linkage on a stock rearend? I would think that would be a poor man's way of getting close to 4-link stability.
