hey jeri, did you do any CAD modelling of the car or are the plans all in yours and trish's head?

[jeriellsworth]

@khisanth75 Not much can be done with CAD, since we have to work within the dimensions of the Camaro body and chassis locations. The rules call out certain dimensions we must meet and everything else is free form.

Can you run superchargers in street stock?

[jeriellsworth]

@lukeyboy900 No. Naturally aspirated only.

i'm a bit confused, in this video you're talking about having the front flex for an oval track and in one of the previous videos you said the suspension is supposed to do the flexing and the frame should be stiff.

did you change your mind or does it have something to do with tris' decision to go for the street stock class?

[jeriellsworth]

@4833504F I didn't intend to make this sound like I wanted flex. The chassis should be rigid between all suspension points. I was talking about suspension movement when I mentioned loading and unloading of wheels.

It always amazes me how your 360p videos look better than most peoples' 720p videos. :)

@opl500 lol actually she went from welding racing frames to writing verilog.

@SuperFullset Water pipe? For what? Are you talking about the roll cage? Water pipe would snap like dry spaghetti in a crash! Jeri was a professional race car builder so don't insult her. She's probably using seamless drawn over mandrill roll bar tubing ( D.O.M.). The rules call for a minimum 1-3/4 tubing with a wall thickness of .090 or more. Now if you were not talking about the roll cage I apologize for my misunderstanding your post.

[SuperFullset]

Respond to this video... 

[SuperFullset]

@jeriellsworth would you recommend water pipe

[ronme68]

Are you going to use a stock ignition or a MSD 83645 ignition module or a A6 box with a rev limiter or perhaps roll your own CDI with a rev limiter?
