Nope, the whole radio is in there. It's a STREET CAR man! LOL! Nah, I put it back in trying to make a weight class (I had to add about a ton of lead to the back too. Toted the tires on the burnout!)

Colonel - What kind of front end set-up do you run for the drag strip? Drag shocks on the front, etc.?

Are your frt. shocks good for street and strip? If so we may need to look at that for our track runs. Which C5R heads?

No doubt about it. These shocks are GREAT for the street. I used to run Hals and they weren't so great for the street, IMO. I mean, they were *ok* but they were a bit "jouncy" when you dialed 'em stiff or they were waaaaaay too floaty when loose. The Afcos can be adjusted to be nicer than stock. I highly recommend them. Call Jay Billingsley Racing. They're a sponsor here --->

The finished version C5Rs. They were ported by Robert at MTI.
