Who built the C4 trans for you? This was the trans I was considering a long time ago. I think when the 5R55S goes (which it will, just a matter of time) I think I will step up to a custom c4 set up.

What else did you have to do? Bellhousing adapter? Custom length driveshaft? Custom trans mount? What about the PCM?

The offical Race weight when we went a 9.51 @ 145 mph was 3,468lbs with Driver (185lbs) it was a real bad day, it was 32 degrees out and the track was ice cold, we really had to drive it that day.

I think the car can run a 9.20 the way it sits but we're going to be adding another 150 or so horsepower trying for that boost only PD 8 Second Pass. We will be heading to Florida in the coming weeks.

I will find out the price for that stuff on Monday, I'll hook you up!

Shit... that's about 400 lbs lighter than mine, and I have a lot of those weight reductions already. The ones I don't have add up to 272 lbs.

+2. I was talking about running a c4 last year but no one thought it would last as our cars are heavy.

Very nice work, that car is getting it. I'm kinda curious what rear suspension setup you have; the car doesn't appear to squat on the launch, but rather it raises.
