KSR Performance Puts SmartStrings To The Test
It’s always exciting when Mullet makes an appearance on the KSR Performance YouTube channel. This El Camino drag racer known affectionately as "Mullet" features massive turbos and a robust Steve Morris big block Chevrolet engine under its hood.
Kevin Smith, the seasoned expert behind KSR Performance, showcases the details under the hood including impressive fabrication by Ty, a complex new turbo setup, exquisite titanium welding, and meticulously crafted custom headers. These upgrades marked a significant leap from the vehicle’s previous iteration.
SmartStrings Alignment Check
However, enhanced power comes with a need for crucial steering and suspension alignment adjustments. Kevin tackled the tricky issue of bump steer using Smart Racing Products' SmartStrings to check the alignment and found considerable toe-out.
Check out the video to see how he meticulously repositions shims and spacers on the tie rods, repeatedly measuring alignment inch-by-inch through suspension travel. Always remember Kevin's #1 SmartString tip: Keep the strings in the same position as you work around the car.
"Don't bump the strings."

After careful adjustments, Kevin significantly minimized the toe variation across the suspension's entire travel range, improving the vehicle’s handling stability.
SmartStrings Alignment Test
Following the alignment corrections, Kevin took Mullet out for a quick test drive, confirming the improvements firsthand. The car performed predictably, though minor steering wheel adjustments may still be necessary based on driver feedback from upcoming races.
With SmartStrings providing precise alignment adjustments, Mullet is ready to confidently hit the Midwest Drags and test its upgraded power and handling capabilities.
