Hello I have some discussion about 4-link brackets on housing as to Centerline of housing the bolt-holes being move forward or after meaning behind Centerline have you done any research on the physical load rap and what's your opinion on shorter bars in longer bars illustrating longer bars on the bottom shorter bars on the top but the key elements here is the offset of the top for Linc housing holes being Ford of Centerline
This video breakdown was a great idea, I enjoyed hearing your 2 cents of 2 great cars that flat out work on the street. Love to see one where you break down the Beater Bomb Mustang. That's another, ahem, street car that's well sorted out. As always, appreciate ya doing this channel Kevin!
She's Going hard left wasn't sure why? But you posting this video has helped. especially the last half of it! Hopefully it will resolve this aggravating issue me and the guys appreciate it. Back in the day we used just try to make enough power now we're trying to figure out how to manage it! I feel like I'm racing the street more than I am the person beside me anymore LOL once again thanks for your time and advice I'm confident it's going to be very helpful!
@@danielray8286 You're welcome! The street is absolutely your opponent! The car next to you is just a distraction for sure. Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
My wife and I have subscribed to your Channel and we are definitely looking forward to some more content. Thanks for your help and ideas on suspension. And suspension travel!!! And also replying to comments!. God bless!
Just re-watched still a VERY good video to re-visit as I am building a new bracket racer. Bulletproof consistency is key and that is based on a solid build. Thanks Kevin
Thanks, Kevin! My friend owns a Chevelle he is trying to get sorted and the video you dropped the other day helped us confirm he was on the right track!
PLEASE SMASH THE THUMBS UP and DROP A COMMENT!! Huge shoutout to Billy at SRC, ruclips.net/user/streetracingchannel for allowing me to use some footage to help share some great info and some teaching moments! This is a must watch of how some successful street racers are laying down some strong numbers with tuned suspensions and chassis setups to help compliment the power management required for no prep and true street racing!! Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!! Kevin Wilson KevinWilsonSBC
I have an 85 el Camino I just bought Dana rearend with a spool & 4.10 gears but stock suspension, im just getting into racing how would I make it compete like Billy’s s10
Thx Kevin, good motivation. Over the years I've watch Billy go from front to back and back to the front again getting the S10 down the track. I remember once he hacked the upper control arms out to get more travel...it worked. Perhaps you could do a video on the pros and cons of different tyres and when do you know they're knackered.
You can definitely see Tommy’s car separate in the rear on the launch. I don’t even have a car, but I study these guys, cause when I do, I’ll be a little ahead of the game. These guys got it easy these days with setting cars up with all the tech, heck, just with cameras. Nice one dude!
Big fan of the SRC Boys and great to see an explanation of what’s going on! I would have noticed what was going on Tommy’s car, with the front end 6ft in the air!
Greatly appreciated. This stuff really helps tie all the information together. I am building a bb Chevelle for this type of racing and you last several videos have given me great tips. I am using the stock type 4 link with good parts and rear end. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Kevin. I am really trying to get out there this year. I want to street race and back of the track. I am working on power train management as well. I have a 18degree 598 with splits on nitrous so I am trying to figure out what to use for that as well. Lol
Hey Kevin 👋.If you haven't checked him out, go check out Turbo John. When it comes to Front end travel he's definitely 👌💯 got it 👍going on. So does Billy, Boston George, Jon Doc, ext. And everyone else making it happen in No Prep. Thanks for the video. Hope to see everyone at the Track. Come on Spring!!!!
Turbo John has a good video on rear separation, most of which is slow motion on the drivers side tire and wheel well. He also makes a good point not to always trust the passenger side if you have some twist in the body or frame. This video of Boston George I watched on a small Cel phone and it was somewhat blurry and hard to see the seperation, front seperation was obvious but it was hard to see the rear seperation clearly. Enjoying these videos, thanks Kevin
@@KevinWilsonSBC yea it was hard to see on this little Cel phone, I thought I was seeing the actual rear end being drove down close to the pavement early on in the run but it was blurry I couldn’t tell for sure because later i couldn’t make out the axle housings on each side like maybe it was something else I was seeing, but I definitely saw daylight between something so it had to be some sep in the rear. But yeah I agree with you I was just pointing out it was hard to make out on a small screen. Kevin I really enjoy your videos and I appreciate you taking the time to go over this. There’s a lot I need to learn about the cage and certification, that’s a grey area for me as I’ve stayed mostly local on the street only concerned about keeping the chassis rigid but not so much safety, but the older you get the more worry about the safety aspect.
We have to remember he’s applying force of torque to the rear wheels . the axle will always fight resistance of the wheel ,body weight. air . So lift will always show . Ty for this awesome write up .. this is great for FORZA guys .. You get the suspension right cars go faster. !
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge on suspension. I have a 55 Chevy that's all original and am trying to learn as much as possible before I start making changes. I'm looking at making around 450 hp .and have a very tight budget. My car will be a street/strip car .
I believe what you're seeing on Boston Georges car is ballast hanging off the rear end BUT you can still use that to see the rear being driven down & the body seperating from the chassis 🤙🏼
Great videos man, love the detailed breakdowns. I know you've seen Billy's S10 Rear setup. Can you explain why he uses 2inch lowering blocks? What exactly is that accomplishing? Is it equal to raising the front of the bar further up? Is there more to it than that? Thanks Love that your dad is working on the cars.
Thanks for the comment! The main reason is to lower the rear of the chassis to help with various things. It does influence the caltrac angle which helps with planting the slick, but the main reason is ride height adjustments. Nothing magic going on there. Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
I highly recommend you go through this playlist of my videos focused on leaf springs: ruclips.net/p/PLK2JQ7QIgx_IM33p0dYnW24ic27RShWgA Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
It should be noted even though you didn't feature it, Billy's S10 and the Falcon have completely different suspensions on them. The Falcon has basically a mustang rear suspension where as the S10 has a factory leaf spring suspension on it.
The first clip Well the first thing anybody can notice is he’s spinning his tires and not getting the speed he is supposed to The best and cheapest way to improve his traction and speed is to get taller and wider tires
I noticed that the front end rise, most noticable on the Falcon but both appear to do it, is not a linear rate. The "initial" sees some rise with almost what appears to be a pause then resumes about a car length out. This could be power management settings, valving, rotation around the c/g or a combination. What do ya think Kev?
You need to understand where you shocks top out, if they top out before suspension bind. Also, on an A-Arm, you need to be careful to find the measurement where the ball joints begin to bind, which can stop your ability to safely steer the car. I should have said all that, my bad!! Great question! To keep steering from not binding you may need to limit the front end about a .5" before that point. Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
looks like they are impossible to steer straight and are real hairy. i seen videos of what looked like steering was too light . maybe slowing the ratio down would ease that up
@@KevinWilsonSBC hopefully after watching your videos I will... I have a slow bracket car I drive for my buddy.. he’s wanting to put a little horsepower to it💪... so, here I am learning suspension and definitely thankful for your videos... reach out to some of these racers and I bet you could collaborate✌️
@@KevinWilsonSBC With the knowledge you pass on that. That will be a bit easier when the time comes. Great explanations on how the shock is working thru the pass. Valving and travel play a big part. Some of what I,m noticing . Is some cross over from other formats. No Prep and street race cars are taking to some PreRunner tricks . Having more controlled and longer travel that does not disrupt the weight bias as easily.
No, you don't "have" to have one just like you don't have to run out and buy sliders. I personally tune two second gen Camaros (76 & 78), one big block NA, glass nose, doors, and trunk. It has caltracs, split monos, sliders, anti roll bar, and viking doubles. Second one small block, 300 shot nitrous, all steel, cal tracs, split monos, no anti roll, stock shackles, and viking doubles. Both cars run a mid 5 in the 1/8, leave flat, good separation. The double adjustable shocks made the most improvement on both.
@@Dirtydave67 While each car is unique on body roll and center of gravity locations my default response will always be yes to a rear ARB. It is yet another tuning aid to keep the chassis twist under control. Thanks for commenting!! Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
Great vid...the Boston George Mustang owned by Eric Manns was on a radial for this race...just an fyi. I bet your viewers would enjoy a vid covering the recent trend and newest technology long travel front struts and what that technology is allowing street racers and back of the track racers to accomplish...thanks again! #srcftw #bostongeorge #thcracing
@@kevin_nagle from my understanding this was out of necessity and not by choice...track event was canceled so the car was being street raced in track trim if you will...the pass reflects this based on the relatively soft hit vs. how hard the car normally leaves on a slick! Thanks for the reply K!
I may have misunderstood... I thought you meant you were at that race. I think you meant collaborating on the zephyr I see on your channel.. .gotcha Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!

Thanks again u wouldn’t believe how munch of this transition int rc. So I’ve played around with race most in most my life mostly bikes. So these 1/10 scale rc cars r just mind plowing fully tunable chassis and power. We use oiled filled shocks so a lot of changing oil. My little dog miss the ride but this is so much safer and LEGAL
@@KevinWilsonSBC hey man to we Went to my first 1/10 scale no prep shootout drag race this weekend. $20 entry 248 cars almost $5000 winner takes all no buy in lose your done. So for 2 month been watching your videos and working on my little car I make full runs to get the data but have only really been tuning the first 66’ 1/8 mile in scale. I have not added any power after lthat my data acceleration log falls flat at like 80 90 feet. I won 28 straight races made to the last 32 cars and got beat by a bumper. I just want you to know that I own what I cal a very successful day all to you and your Dad thank u again
Yes it does... Thanks for commenting! That Falcon, I believe is a Falcon body on a Mustang type frame... Not 100%, but I think it is close!! Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
Yes, but that was also a completely virgin road, so some wheel speed is expected... most streets are actually and nearly tracks... not this one. Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
I think I understand your post: "Ate you put of the SRC FAMILY OR AN INTERNET HIJACKER"... I am friends with Billy at SRC and we have helped each other with our content. Billy gave me permission to use the clips to help teach my viewers about chassis setup. My channel is not into Hijacking other's content, but you would need to know my channel to understand that. Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
It was hard for me to tell in what video we had... They do look like it.. do you know for sure, or just on what you see on the video? Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
Yes and amen! To go fast and do it right, especially on the street, takes attention to detail and off the shelf shocks mass produced will not give you the tuning adjustments you need to control the power/torque available today. Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
There is much to be said for ‘maximum travel’ UNTIL THE POINT of wheels going beyond vertical by use of travel limiters. If my point is understandable.
I am using the clips as a teaching aid for no prep and street racing. Billy gave me permission to use so others could learn from it. Drag racing suspension and chassis tuning is what I do. Billy and I have helped each other. Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
Thank you so much 😀 I appreciate Billy giving me permission to share this! Speaks volumes of his willingness to help grow drag racing and help others! Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!

That was a good start. But why measure anything. What do you do with the measurements. Or did I miss something.
You need to understand where you shocks top out, if they top out before suspension bind. Also, on an A-Arm, you need to be careful to find the measurement where the ball joints begin to bind, which can stop your ability to safely steer the car. I should have said all that, my bad!!

@@Dirtydave67 While each car is unique on body roll and center of gravity locations my default response will always be yes to a rear ARB. It is yet another tuning aid to keep the chassis twist under control. Thanks for commenting!! Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
I instantly thought..PT CRUISER in the drawing.
LOL... yeah... I can see it now.. Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
Thank you kevin
You're welcome! Thanks for commenting. Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
Great vid...the Boston George Mustang owned by Eric Manns was on a radial for this race...just an fyi. I bet your viewers would enjoy a vid covering the recent trend and newest technology long travel front struts and what that technology is allowing street racers and back of the track racers to accomplish...thanks again! #srcftw #bostongeorge #thcracing
This is great info and Boston George on radials is just flat out freaking crazy!! Thanks for the idea on content!! Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
Radial Slick> or Pro Drag Radial? Car runs hard!!!
This is interesting for sure to be on a radial!
@@kevin_nagle from my understanding this was out of necessity and not by choice...track event was canceled so the car was being street raced in track trim if you will...the pass reflects this based on the relatively soft hit vs. how hard the car normally leaves on a slick! Thanks for the reply K!

Love the content
Thank-you!! Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
Good info. Love to hear some feedback on my zephyr if you ever got the chance. Would love to collaborate
Which one is your car in this video. I think I know but I want to confirm. Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!
I may have misunderstood... I thought you meant you were at that race. I think you meant collaborating on the zephyr I see on your channel.. .gotcha Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
@@KevinWilsonSBC no sir i wasn’t at that race.
what is anti squat and how do you achieve it
Checkout this video: ruclips.net/video/nU4PXWg2Dg8/видео.html and this one: ruclips.net/video/IRHn3i2_Dnc/видео.html those will help a bunch! Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
Thanks again u wouldn’t believe how munch of this transition int rc. So I’ve played around with race most in most my life mostly bikes. So these 1/10 scale rc cars r just mind plowing fully tunable chassis and power. We use oiled filled shocks so a lot of changing oil. My little dog miss the ride but this is so much safer and LEGAL
Very cool! Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!
@@KevinWilsonSBC hey man to we
Went to my first 1/10 scale no prep shootout drag race this weekend. $20 entry 248 cars almost $5000 winner takes all no buy in lose your done. So for 2 month been watching your videos and working on my little car I make full runs to get the data but have only really been tuning the first 66’ 1/8 mile in scale. I have not added any power after lthat my data acceleration log falls flat at like 80 90 feet. I won 28 straight races made to the last 32 cars and got beat by a bumper. I just want you to know that I own what I cal a very successful day all to you and your Dad thank u again
Looks just like the Falcon
Yes it does... Thanks for commenting! That Falcon, I believe is a Falcon body on a Mustang type frame... Not 100%, but I think it is close!! Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
droop in the rc world
He was also spinning the entire length. Could have transferred more to the rear!
Yes, but that was also a completely virgin road, so some wheel speed is expected... most streets are actually and nearly tracks... not this one. Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
spinning but you did not see an ounce or tire smoke, he had the power management locked in on that pass for sure!

Ate you put of the SRC FAMILY OR AN INTERNET HIJACKER
I think I understand your post: "Ate you put of the SRC FAMILY OR AN INTERNET HIJACKER"... I am friends with Billy at SRC and we have helped each other with our content. Billy gave me permission to use the clips to help teach my viewers about chassis setup. My channel is not into Hijacking other's content, but you would need to know my channel to understand that. Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
Boston george was on radials
It was hard for me to tell in what video we had... They do look like it.. do you know for sure, or just on what you see on the video? Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
I remember hearing I think Tommy say Boston George was on radials
@@KevinWilsonSBC billy mentioned it at the very beginning
@@jonathanenglish7109 I flat out missed it. That is impressive for sure! Thanks! Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!
@@KevinWilsonSBC hey man your doing great nobodys perfect
That's what $2k viking coil over suspension does.
Yes and amen! To go fast and do it right, especially on the street, takes attention to detail and off the shelf shocks mass produced will not give you the tuning adjustments you need to control the power/torque available today. Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
@@KevinWilsonSBCI'm working on driveline and suspension on my Firehawk right now.
The car looks like a mini cooper
LOL.. yeah, I agree... Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
There is much to be said for ‘maximum travel’ UNTIL THE POINT of wheels going beyond vertical by use of travel limiters. If my point is understandable.
Jim, great point! I understand your point for sure! Thanks for commenting! Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
That’s a mini Cooper
Looks like a VW Beetle
LOL... LMAO... yeah... Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
sucks lol good video
Thanks for commenting... I appreciate you supporting the channel! Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
Why are you using SRC logo on your channel for views?
Because the clip he was using was from SRC
I am using the clips as a teaching aid for no prep and street racing. Billy gave me permission to use so others could learn from it. Drag racing suspension and chassis tuning is what I do. Billy and I have helped each other. Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
You got it!! Thanks, kevinnagle! Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
Great video!
Thanks!! Appreciate you commenting! Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!
Excellent
Thank you so much 😀 I appreciate Billy giving me permission to share this! Speaks volumes of his willingness to help grow drag racing and help others! Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
