Re: Should I put the turbo motor set up in the truck?

I'm going to be running factory C5 Z06 manifolds as they are a tri-y set up and flow better than any other factory set up. I also choose to go with a cast iron manifold due to heat and stress. They are less likely to crack.


Marv, I agree they are heavy, but 3,500lb race weight is that of a stock 4th Gen F-bod. I've seen a couple 3,600lb 6 speed 4th gens run low 9's. Given they have way better aero, I think it can be done with some time.

Get out the "hacksaw" and wack about 5 inches off of the roof..... that'll cut down on the "drag".... LOVE "chopped roofs"... but they also make a lot of sense when racing.... just look at the "Bonneville Salt Flats racers"..... But for people like me we don't need any "reasons" to chop.....
