Jimmy Hidalgo Sr. just competed at Belle Rose with a '91 Corvette. Get in touch with him. He is one of the nicest people I know and would be glad to tellyou about his car, I'm sure.

if you are down with a clutch pedal the LT-4 is rated the same as the LT-1

only one I know of. D2 car, doesn't come out very often. I forget the owner's name. Its black and silver

Re: c-4 vette stocker
 
Chad if both LT engines are rated the same,I would think that there would be more LT4's than 1's. Big difference between those two engines.

I'm shocked too, but it was a stick only combo, and a lot of the stick guys are old school and don't like EFI.

Charlie Ingram has an awesome C stick LT4 Vette. Do a search on drc or auto imagery and you should be able to find some pics.

If you contact Bruce Bachelder at NHRA and make a request, he has dozens of pictures of my C-4 stocker with an "approved" solid rear axle suspension. These cars make pretty good little hotrods but are not an easy build. Are they a good platform for mulitiple combos? No, but the TPI combo is still OK in stick and automatic and the LT-4 is great for C or B stick. The LT-1 needs about 25 hp back to be competetive with some of the old cars in C/SA and if we want to run with the new factory cars we need to go back to 275 HP.






































































the old cars in C and if we want to run with the new cars we need to go back to 275 hp.
