I'm not a suspension "guy" --- frankly -- I could care less about it. I have a guy that knows a guy that knows a thing or two about that stuff.... so I can keep my pretty little head as empty as possible....
My many many years of experience with C3 "stuff"...... I could always find the weakest link. Usually the little stub axle. Shear those little POS easy.
The setup Pappy has found is certainly NOT C3..... and Detroit Speed should know a thing or two about horsepower! Looking forward to updates when you finally hit the track with this!
Thanks Greg. Building it for NASA TTU/STU, so maybe we can get together on track - figuratively, not literally. Got the intake today - nice piece. Moving the motor down 2 more inches (small flywheel and Tilton bell housing and shallow dry sump), but will still have to have a 4 inch cowl hood to get plenty of room for airflow.
A little progress. Motor is almost done and ready for the dyno. Hogan is doing a little more on the manifold and the harness for the Motec is in work. Ron Sutton just spec'd the front sway bar and will soon get the JRI shocks for a little "secret sauce". That finishes the suspension. Sorry for the quality of the cell phone photos.
