David,

They are some big numbers for wheel rates, but they seem to work quite well in your chassis. (JBL standard rates: 165 front and 145 rear. But roll rates are adjustable from 80>1200 front and 40>650 rear.)

Also very high frequencies, I bet it is hard to get the dampers dialed in as your shaft motions are very small but speed high. I always found that valve flutter was a problem in these areas. Hard to keep the damper fluid from cavitating.

I am also surprised that you guys cannot run anti-roll bars. But I guess it does lower cost and leaves you only tire pressure as fine adjustment, therefore making setup a bit easier.

The traction-lock is the standard diff in the JBL as well. Works pretty well. The only problem is lack of adjustability and the sensitivity to heat in the slip percentages. Should work great in your spec FFR. With the power levels in the stock engine, you will not build too much heat.

Craig,

I never got to drive one of the Reynolds engines. Just a 427 in a Lola t220 and a 454 in the M8. Still plenty of power, just not in the leaque of the 510. I wonder what the asking price was for that M8D? (Well, I guess if you have to ask, its out of reach anyway!!!!!)
