since we really dont have a basic tech topic area, i figured manybe you guys could anwser these questions.

Can you guys exsplain to me what these 3 things do and why most drag cars use them?


1. Throttle Stop

2. Trans Brake

3. Ladder Bar



Thanks for the help ahead of time.

 

Lets see...

A throttle stop will physically limit how much the carb. can open up and can be used to make the car run closer to it's dial in if it is running too fast or it can help if the car is breaking the tires loose at some point.

A transbrake keeps the transmission from completely engaging when the car is sitting on the line so you don't have to foot brake it to bring up the stall.

Lastly, a ladder bar is used on leaf spring suspensions to help limit wheel hop and aid in gaining traction.

Anything I left out?

 

dude you kick *** ... ty.

 

Good as any, better than most one legged men.

 

dude how do you like that dynomax setup? Is it the catback, or just the muffler? Got any part #'s?

 

It started out as a 3 inch flowmaster mandrel bent cat back, but it was just too loud. I actually had to build the passenger side tail pipe cause the kit only came with one. Anyways, when I switched to the Ultraflow, I lost a tiny bit of bottom end, but it picked up on the top end. At first the ultraflow sounded kinda like a mustang, but now it's all Chevy brute force. Also, it doesn't seem to pop like the flowmaster did.

The muffler part number is 15736.

Here's a link to their site.

I really like it. Now if I can just get my tuning straight so the car will stop back firing everything will be straight.
