    Fine Dyno tuning

    Hello, Exist some old tricks - recommendations for quick changes during fine dyno tuning to maximize power ?? (racing old style engine) for example: different fuel carb. height change (differet spacer) antireverse plate exhaust tailpipe diameter change etc etc Thanks for any tips Radek

    Toe-in/out sensitivity on different lateral levels

    Hello, How racing tire is sensitive on any toe changes over full lateral load range? for example: Is toe-out (always) more significant change when tire approach his lateral limit ? Is same effect for both axles? Is just reason why want minimum compliance steer,roll steer on rear axle? Thank you...

    suspension lateral compliance

    Hello experts, I am very interested about suspension lateral compliance data, exist some database or real examples toe and camber lateral stiffness for modern passenger cars or racing cars? or can we determine some ussual target values we want to achieve? Thanks for the answers

    Scrub radius versus grip limit feel

    Hello All , How scrub radius affects steering feel when car approach lateral grip limit? driver complains for very bad tire response is FWD car which have really big wheel spacers but only 2 degree caster and 14 degree KPI he suffers also strong torque steer under acceleration..........is...

    Roller rocker arms

    Hi guys! Can you tell me something about roller rockers? Is there any benefits between original rocker arms and roller rocker arms if stay on same arm ratio? I wondering how much influence does to the friction losses? Is there any benefits if i use lighter roller rocker? Thank you for ideas Radek
