I would need to check the springs for current pressures, but when installed they were about 130lb on the seat and around 320lb or something like that at max lift which is in 0.507 ex 0.533

below is a test I did in the shed stabbing the throttle to see that the g force axis were reading.....
not sure why my readings are so jumpy compared to VL400's, can only assume its the solid mounted engine with lumpy cam compared to his smooth as silk Lexus V8
I've also added in the Z axis which VL400 didn't connect in his, not sure how much use it will be and im not sure the axis is reading correctly at the moment, but time will tell! I guess it should tell if the car is lifting or dropping in the front end ?
so further to this post, I got to testing my g-force meter over the weekend

.... I'm not sure how accurate it is but none the less this is what it shows me over the 1/8th mile and if nothing else I can use it to compare against another track like Sydney with more traction etc.
I did see a few variations in the logs, and as you can see from this one the speedo shows a bit of wheel spin off the line.
