Blu Balz is back in CA! At the Mid West Muscle Car Challenge the car showed us its strengths & weaknesses.. Unfortunately we will not be making Good Guys Columbus & the PHR Shootout but we will be ready for Motorstate Challenge…
The one thing that we have not been able to keep from losing in the car was ring & pinions.. Discussed this with Kyle @ DSE & this is what we came up with as a solution… Heat has been our enemy.. but @ the time upgrade to something that is more for racing purposes…
C&R Racing has introduced current NASCAR Ford 9” technology for the Pro-Touring and Track Day customers. Starting with an investment cast nodular housing that is almost 8 pounds lighter than a standard case. Ring & Pinions are ISF® Process (Isotropic Superfinish Process) by REM Chemicals for reductions in friction, heat build up , power loss, noise and increases longevity. C&R also utilizes our in house 9” Dyno which measures heat, hot & cold rolling torque , final backlash and is checked for noise. It also allows us to ship 9” already broken-in so it is ready to run when you receive it.
Another issue I kept having was the radiator… So we upgraded to a Dewitt’s C6 Corvette radiator with fans.. The radiator now mounts as C6 Corvette would mount with grommets…
Quite a few cars @ Mid West Muscle Car Challenge were leaking fuel from the fuel vents… So we tore all the fuel system apart & put in a new aluminum fuel tank from Rick’s to save weight & be able to weld on a tank with no fumes in it.. plus we are venting the rear end & fuel tank with these new tanks we built… also venting @ the highest point on the fuel tank… The filler…
While we had the whole rear section of the car apart… We made a change to the pannard bar to make it adjustable for our roll height..
Another thing I tried out was fitting 305-30-19 on a 19x11 on the front… I got to drive the car with these tires… You can tell the car bites more… But @ this time we cannot run them for events due to rubbing… I will make the changes later to make it work…
