Shes Ready To Race
sup guys,
well i've been busting my a$$ trying to get the car ready for the track before the end of the month, and shes almost ready to rock.
the new motor i'm building for the car is on hold for a little until i get my $$$ back on track. i plan on having th other motor ready before the end of the season but until then im racing with the old fresh motor that i've always had. nothing on the motor was changed from the past 3 years . the only things that i changed was taking weight of the car , fuel system , wheels and tires , and 4 link 12 bolt axle. The car is was geared for the new motor i was building so it setup to shift @ 9000 RPM
i added few pics of my fuel cell and batt setup in the back of the car. also pics of how i took out the stock heater box and sheet the fire wall with aluminum and i no longer have power brakes . the engine by is much cleaner and the car is much more fun to work on...
Motor pics
Fuel system and battary
Wheels & Tires

Fuel regulator won't pass NHRA tech (mounted on the firewall..a no-no!) - must be mounted no closer than 6" to the firewall.
this is point is moot if you're running IHRA (their tech is a bit "relaxed")
Other than that... nice work!

You mentioned the track, what class are you planning to run the car in?
I see you have et streets on the rears, what front tires (and size) are you using ?

Your C4 is looking MEAN!! Can't wait till I can get mine done. It is now scheduled to go to my shop next week.
What brand rims are those (are they the Billet Specialties rims)? What size are your front rims? What front brakes are you using? Thanks!!
