QUOTE(RedGLI @ Jun 14 2005, 10:30 PM) the stock v8 has the 304 crank and 2 bolt mains the group A has a 355 harip crank and 4 bolt mains the heads r the same so the only differents is the group A twin throttle bodies but he has a set of C.O.M.E.(is that how it goes adam) racing ones here now [right][snapback]5166197[/snapback][/right] The Group A engine is not a 355, It also had Roller Rockers there was two Group A manifolds , VL and VN slightly different because of the bonnet for the VN. I know that because of Group A regulations at the time for weight and engine size it could not be more than 5L hence 304 not a 308 which is just over 5L. The rules also said no mods to exhaust untill after the first join from the extractors also why the VL walkinshaw had a join only one inch from the Heads. Phils Blue VL is a very nice car but Im pretty sure from when I looked at the sump last time its not a 355. But whow knows we could be wrong. Normally with a new crank and more powerful motor putting out more power a upgraded sump is used other wise the owner was lazy and budget. |

I'm with you Adam, I know these few cars you talk about and there is no problem with traction on the road. There is if you are a shit driver and just decide to dump the clutch!! |

QUOTE(HYPOV6 @ Jun 19 2005, 01:51 PM) irs does help traction in a straight line .... dont u notice how a car with irs the back dips down a lot more at the launch .... with a solid axle diff it doesnt have that and there for the rear tyres light up a lot more ... irs has more giveway before it lights up the rear tyres [right][snapback]5173809[/snapback][/right] No, i'm sorry, it does not work like that at all. The amount of 'dip' the rear end goes through is all to do with springs and shock absorber rates. You can achieve exactly the same thing with either live or IRS. IRS has inherant camber control issues with the amount of travel you need for a decent drag launch. |
