The new set up is up and running just working out a few bugs
Well it’s been one hell of a rough ride but we finally got her just about done. Some of you know my car most may not. It has always been a nitrous car and currently holds the record for the fastest and quickest C5 on stock suspension with a 8.72 @ 158. Now we have kicked it up a notch going to a 12 bolt with torque arm setup in the rear and a power glide up front. We made some awesome changes to the motor as you can see in some of the links below and replaced the big shot of nitrous with some boost. I like to thank everyone involved The Vette Doctor, Never Lift Race Cars, American Racing Headers and Turbo People for all their effort and putting up with my CRAZYNESS. Jobe you’re not done yet. I set out to break new ground this season and hope to be the first PRO 8 car in the 7's beating Angelo Valla and Mike Mitchell to that magic number. I got a little bit of a late start but I am still in the game. The car is a bit of an experiment. We are in untested water but with my team of players, I feel we covered the bases pretty well. There was a lot of fear in putting the turbo in the back for this application but after going crazy trying to work with it up front. I pushed everyone to rear mount it. I enjoy wrenching my car when ever it is with in my limits and if you saw what it would have been like with it up front you would have run the other way. If I had a removable nose it would have been another story. Check out the links below.

Give Neverlift a call he has a few option for the solid axle conversion. As far as the IRS its a long list.
Good luck with your quest for eights
