This might be a long shot but we are having this academic discussion here:

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1590541717

We are in search of a stock C2/C3 BB or near stock to do a real world comparison at a track. Let myself or Tom400CFI know if your interested.

Pittsburgh Raceway Park is close to me. Tom is in Utah, contact him.

Thanks

X2.

I run at RMR mainly. Have run at GJ and Wendover too. Would consider St George if everything else "aligned" well.

For sure, on the pics and vids....if something happens. IMO, it will take a brave soul to track his classic BB 'Vette. I mean, I wouldn't be afraid to, but I'm me, so. ....but we'll see.

I don't think, I know. 13.38@105 is my best at PRP. Ran a slew of 13.4's and 13.5's. Not the best track for ET's and DA. Usually sticky on the 60' however.

Unfortunately, I have to "think", b/c I only get an opportunity to run my car at high elevation; 4200' in SLC, typically on 7000+ DA's and once at 'Vegas (2200') on some high DA too. In SLC, I've gone 13.75/101, and 13.5/105 the one time in Vegas. I feel that I could get into the basement 13's with my car at a place like ATCO or MIR where people seem to find the best air. But I don't know, for sure.
