Just noticed the right exhaust header run created a custom need on the right valve cover. Being that close & that hot, are you concerned any issues might arrise?

Alright, I'm a nosey bitch. . .This Chassis Shop torque arm and such...did they also make the mounting bracket for the housing or was that local custom and could I have ALOT more shots of that? either here or PM'd. I'm nowhere and will never be anywhere near the power level you're running, but still want stout parts. How much for the T/A & such. How long is it? I'm guessing just under 4 1/2 feet from center of bracket to center of heimjoint. . . THANK YOU!

Price wise it was a package deal including the 25.5 cage... around 4.5 feet would be a good estimate for the TA... Some of the parts on the car are more stout than those I have seen on 2500HP 10.5 outlaw cars... My moto is do it once and do it right My defective PTC converter has been replaced and my tranny is as good as new now... we are shooting to hit the track this weekend!

Price wise it was a package deal including the 25.5 cage... around 4.5 feet would be a good estimate for the TA... Duffster, 'The Chassis Shop' has just moved into our adjoining shop at Canadian Performance and if anybody wants quotes or contacts, please call me at 416 795 6981 or email me at Dave@cdnperf.com He is not a sponsor here, but I exclusively sell for him on here at LS1tech.com and other internet forums.
He's been doing it for 41 years and you can not go wrong with this gentlemens work (as you can see on vmaxx's car!)
I have also had several work done to my race car and we teamed up and actually made the first Moly K-frame & A-Arm setup in late 99.
In my opinion he is Canada's best and his chassis' have won many many races and championships. You should see the how this Super Street C5 is coming along. Its a good 6 inches lower then factory ride height C5's! Just beautifull!
Let me know boys!
Thanks Dave
