    Rear Suspension on FWD Drag Race Vehicle

    We are building the worst idea ever used in a drag race -- a FWD drag car. Last year the car went 8.8 @ 167 and now we are building a new chassis to the SFI 25.5 Spec. The question we are contending with currently is how to setup the rear suspension. We are using a 4 link system, traditional...

    Turbo/supercharged Volumetric Efficiency
