I want to know how fast you guys actually are instead of just hearing "oh it's the best setup." Do ANY of you have timeslips or anything?????

sorry no i have never been to a track before, but i have raced supercharged cobra's from a dig before... had a few take me and i beat a few (usually depending on the driver) those things can run mid-low 12's pretty easy... so that gives u an idea where i am...

i have a factory replacement clutch, all weather tires, and a 10-bolt rear... even when i was racing i took it very easy out of the hole... maybe when i get a few more things upgraded... i know you will shun me but i prefer racing from a roll... less chance of damaging things (as long as you don't wreck!! lol)

.... no i mean the clutch itself...
my t56 tranny can hold up to 450hp (rated at)
master cylinder is on the brake system... you may be thinking slave cylinder which is what connects the clutch pedal to the clutch fork, the clutch fork is what seperates the clutch from the flywheel
flywheel is what the clutch makes contact with to connect the driveline

damn he did all that and barely even modded that engine... if i spent all that time swappin i'm gonna mod the engine (like i did haha) and actually it seems like a very thrown together job... he even still has the lt1 factory exhaust manifolds and everything on it... decent job... but seems he put it together in a hurry, you could make the underhood more clean and a little less cluttered than that... well i can't criticize too much, he ran f-body accessories on it, which makes it pretty cluttered... plus he used the lt1 intake elbow, which takes away more room... its a decent job, but i think he coulda done better, little changes would have made a lot better job and freed up alot of underhood work room...
on the plus side, that is a very good platform, with a body that is in excellent shape... if anybody didn't want to actually do the swap themselves but wanted to mod the lt1 this would be good... because there isn't anything done to that lt1, lots of improvement room

so are u saying it is better to run the corvette accessories???
drvngstorm05
10-01-2005, 09:20 PM
well if you want a/c yes... because where the f-body accessories puts the a/c compressor you actually have to beat a dent into the passenger side of the crossmember... and i don't want to compromise my structure, plus i think it cleans up the engine bay a little better... its an opinion thing really
