QUOTE (CrashTestDummy @ Apr 10 2012, 06:31 AM)  It looks to me like that tank is about 8" too high back there. I would think that with the weight of all that coolant back there, you'd want it as low as possible. Is there a bunch of piping/valving you need clearance for under that tank? Needs to be higher than the ic under the dash. |

I talked to a guy at Buttonwillow in early March 2012 that said he also had a twin turbo drag car. What is the track car. I'm the one with the 1994 Z28 white with the black top.

Does your class require a passenger seat??
Are you running in an NMCA LSx class? |

Fuel lines right alongside the driveshaft gives me the willies - if that shaft comes apart it could tear up the filter or hose. Hot stuff nearby too...

That's what the car was built for.

Was just told it might also be against NHRA tech. I'll look at moving them. Should be too difficult.

The downpipe switch to aluminum just before the k member (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
