RE:Opinions on maximum practical HP for the C4 on the street

Subject: RE:Opinions on maximum practical HP for the C4 on the street
by lt4obsessed on 2008/1/29 16:28:37

Well, I am pretty enthusiastic about the lt4. It'll do alot more than I can afford the ticket for to be sure. The real problem is traction. Last season was my first time at the strip. My best run was 13.8, now that was spinning the tires through 2nd gear and a bit of fishtailing. I had never drag raced a manual before so this is a learning process. BTW my trap speed was 106mph.

That being said, about the only thing I really want to do is to push the rollers to a 1.7, 52mm TB, and headers. I don't know what the #'s would be, but I bet it will be fun. Basically, I'm pretty good with a wrench but no professional, so going any deeper than the valve covers scares me a bit.
