They are all made to ones engine spec/want/need rarely are 2 aliike.
They do sell some that are popular....

With the lack of hood clearance unless you got one hell of a motor under the hood that requires a custom sized runner imo a sheetmetal intake is a waste. A well ported mini/single plane will do the job just fine.

They are a "cool factor" thing to have for sure. One day Id like to fab one up somehow. On the wish list but probably never happen Im getting too lazy these days.

I think this is the first time I have seen a flat black paintjob that I liked. Nice wheels too.

That's because it's not regular ole flat black.

What wheel/tire sizes are you using front & rear?

GREGGPENN

Unfortunately....no. I checked on it. I would have liked to had that too.

They said there's no request for it. (Though I've seen 4-5 people wishing for one since I installed mine in 2006. But, that's only 1/yr.)

There is one taller than this...by 1.25".

28x12.5x15 on 10x15 rims in the rear and 26" tall tires on 15x3.5 rims in the front.

Hey jim , your car is a 6 speed right ? if so have u tried running a stiff wall slick ?

tpi 421 vette

It is a six speed car. But I do drive it on the street, so I use a DOT tire like the MT ET streets. I have run a 1.46/60 with those tires. But I mainly need a street legal tire on the car.

Car looks great!

How does the ZF hold up. Do you power-shift it? Was any work done to the trans?

Thanks,
Steve

Thanks!
It's a stock black tag ZF, and that thing has to be one of the strongest tranny's ever put in a car. It's been running in the 10's for 10 years with 900ft/lbs of torque going thru it (on the bottle), and it holds up fine. I have never done anything to it except change the oil in it every year.

STEVEN13

Thanks for the information! Are any of the passes powershifted?

Regards,
Steve

I don't know what your definition of power shifting is. I shift fast as possible with the clutch, but not to the point of destroying the trans. It's not worth ruining the trans for that last .001 faster time. Driven correctly, these trans's will last a long time.

STEVEN13

Thanks again for the response. By powershifting I mean not lifting off the gas (at all) between shifts and still using the clutch.

My 92 may be going into a local chassis shop for a solid axle conversion-waiting for the shop to be ready for it.

Seeing your car inspires me to get mine done!

Nice looking cars, now to upset the 35Th anniversary crowd. I have owned my 35Th for about 8 years now and it was due for some new paint. I put a new engine in and it need a hood. So i contacted Toledo pro. Here she is my 1988 35Th annirsary with Cyber grey paint.

I'm running the same hood, except mine is carbon fiber, and has no undertray. Using Dzus fasteners on the sides to hold it down.
