RE: Update: New Interior Done - 3/17/2008 6:59:49 PM    73shark Posts: 1089 Joined: 4/18/2006 Status: offline 7/8 front is the std small block bar and the 3/4 is the std bigblock bar.  I'm surprised that you don't have a serious oversteer problem with that much rear bar.  The small block gymkhana (FE7) setup was 1 1/8 front and 7/16 rear.  That's what I put on mine and it gets rid on almost all of the understeer inherent in the factory design.  Which is where I want it cuz if you get close to neutral, it makes the car real easy to lose    if you're not careful.  Which is why cars come from the factory setup to understeer.  It's a lot safer.  _____________________________ So many toys, so little time (in reply to dar322) Post #: 15

Understeer - when the front of your car hits the wall Oversteer  - when the back of your car hits the wall _____________________________ If you don't ask, you get the same answer as no. 1979 L-82, 383 Stroker, Edelbrock RPM Air Gap intake, Holley 750, Headers, Flowmasters, VB&P 400# rear monospring, Richmond 5 speed.
