should of posted this in here first: this setup, came across it and raising some eye brows, might be a little long but he claims to all this he now lives in Wichita KS, some of it don't seem possible

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.

 

What doesn't seem right?

 

just never heard of anybody eliminating their IRS for Straight axle, in a C5 the tranny mounts and all that has to be refabricated, a T-56 won't right

 

I will go out on a limb here and suggest that whoever this guy is doesn't find it difficult or bothersome to "fabricate" or change anything on his car!

 

How is this a kill?
