Heads- Alright, I had a machinist of mine open up the heads a little more than they were. Started at a 38cc combustion chamber opened to 44cc. 272cc intake runners open to 283cc. Uses a 1.63" diameter spring up to .800 lift. Not sure exactly what the spring pressure is. Ill ask my engine guy. All jesel components. Stock valves. The heads flow a little over 385cfm at 28in water.. The cam is a custom grind from futral. I dont have my cam card here but from what I remember it has around a 252/264 at .050" lift .728 int and a .737 ex. on a 110 LSA. It has the ARE 442 kit. Bore 4.125 as well as the stroke. I was thinking in the future of going with the darton sleeves for the 4.155" bore to make 455ci. Sheetmetal intake was built by WCC. I went with the 9 inch cuz ive always been a straight axle guy. Not to fond of the IRS. Broken too many half shafts. Also, gear changes are a lot easier than with the original C5 pumpkin. Im using a mcleod twin disk clutch. Dual Walbro 340s in tank and 46lb injectors. I was from CA, Im 26 and used to work as a dyno tech in the LA area.
I went up to 44c because I still wanted to be able to run on pump gas if I wanted to. I built this car to be on the verge of a race car. Still want it to be streetable. Im not a big fan of higher comp motors. I always like to stay below 12.well, the C5 has an integral perimeter frame. I did the work, we also had a fab shop. Not a full tube chassis. Came off frame as far front as I could straight back using 2"x4" .120" wall rec tubing. 26" before axle centerline was the kickup. The rear pro link setup i used was a universal kit from Chassis Engineering. FYI, 4-link usually has the angled shock setup. The pro link is straight up and down.
