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!

That is pretty much how I race the car. I lift off slightly to disengage the nitrous between shifts.

I love the cowl hood setup on the C4 .... i use to have the same hood on my car when it use to be red , I ended up going with a VFN hood that only weighs 18lbs .. it's now a tilt up hood , so i dont have to keep taking it of the car to work on the motor , i also had my dzus fasteners anodized black ..

I guess you didn't read the OP's first post. It's a Toledo Pro cowl hood.
