So my c4 has had some bad luck. It is no longer worth fixing, my choices are to put the fairly fresh 383 and 700r4 in a new home, do a total part out and start over, or hack it apart.

I've chosen the hack option.

First question, is to carb or not to carb.
If I chose the high carb option, should i leave the computer in to run the tranny and some other high tech gizmos.

If I chose to stick with EFI, do I leave it stock? use the big mouth intake and runners I already have (not installed)? or since hood clearance is no longer an issue go for one of the taller "rams"

Or maybe use the big mouth and hog it out and Siamese the runners?

All that being said, with stock tires and its current weight, my 383 with an almost stock cam roasts the tires at will, does donuts for days, and basically couldnt hook up if my life depended upon it.

I like torque, I use low end torque a lot more often than I would high end HP, however, once I strip the body off and it weighs in at 2400 lbs or less, what am I going to use that torque for?

Thats why I am considering one of the "ram" styles, as I would like to keep some mid range numbers and add a little to my post 4500 possibilities.

The car will be driven to work as often as possible, it will be auto crossed, and it will be drag raced. But, with the way things stand it might see a race track of one sort or anouther 5 or 10 times a year, I'm certain I will find reason to drive it to work far more times than that.

After that I have to decide on a cam, and a "boost option"

Relevant info, the car is a 90 vert, it has reworked stock heads with 202 intake valves and I think 160 exhaust, (it is posted on here in an old thread, I can look it up if it is needed, Long tube headers and magnaflow mufflers. I also have but not currently installed a moates ostrich, and a p600b supercharger that may or may not need a rebuild (its been sitting 4 years).

On a lighter note, I have been calling the car "Diablo Grotesque" but my friend calls it the Corwette because of a comment I made about her condition after a 3 minute doughnut binge.

 

This intake came from a 1988 firebird, I have the injector block, and it came with an aftermarket throttle body, in order to use it I have to get a new boss welded on and tapped, as it has one less than the corvette requires, but it would be worth it to keep the throttle body that wont bolt to my corvette plenum.

I am still leaning toward selling it, and either siamesing my stock intake, or switching to a ram intake, or even carburated.
