Re: Good day at the track (Flareside)
Oh...... NOW I see.......
4.25 STROKER..........
Missed that little part!
So I guess we have a ZL1 on steroids!
Even more sneaky!
LOVE the car. You got a ten sec. ride if you can hook it up. A little more gear couldn't hurt either!

FlareSide ...The displacement is 489.4 with 4.45" stroke and 4.281" bore. GDaina ... The block was allready notched but still required some additional clearancing.

Re: Good day at the track (ZL1powr)
Yea the stroker part got by me also, I assumed it was a 454. That car would be a good canidate for a ROD. I run 3.70's with my ROD and it is perfect.

Re: Good day at the track (ZL1powr)
1st 2.77
2nd 1.89
3rd 1.46
4th 1.19
5th 1
6th .62
There are different first and sixth gear ratios availible. We are making similar HP and I think any lower in 1st would be to low. It might be better for all out drag racing, but for street use any lower would not be good. I like the .62 in 6th. Richmond will tell you it is not a real strong gear and you should not romp on it. I like it because I can cruise at 80 mph at 2300 rpms. 5th gear maxes out at around 150 and I have no desire to drive a C-3 any faster than that anyway. For my set up the ratios I have are perfect.

Re: Good day at the track (Glenn454)
ZL1powr, Have you ever weighted your corvette? I't has to light, 3050lbs or so.
