Thumbs up Re: Pure Stock making a come back!

Needless to say when I bought it I didnt have this in mind but I thought it might be fun.
I still would like to street it some so I guess it depends on how far I want to go.
I did call Mike and he said it would be A/PS and it looks like 3320 with driver. He is looking at the specs said he would get back with me.

Contact Wolfe Racecraft in Fort Worth, Texas Jerry about a roll bar. I put one of their 6-point bolt-in bars in this summer and now we're legal to 10.0. Very easy to install, fit and finish was PERFECT, and the whole job took less than 8 hours. You'll need to weld the bars that come up from the cargo area to the main hoop (Wolfe provides bolts for them) to be NHRA/IHRA legal but with a convertible that will be easy (as will the installation).

With a good set of headers, converter, gear, tune, CAI and lighter wheels and drag radials (or slicks) that will be a competitive car. If you wanted to get really serious and put a cam in it and go crazy it would flat fly.

We can run 1 second under the B/PS index and still drive the car on the street with the AC, etc. all still operable.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. We've done a lot of research on the Corvette and LS platform and can lead you in the right direction to what works and what is a waste of time and money.

Thanks for the info Scott, especially the part of bolting in the roll bar, its hard for me to picture the rear bars in the convertible, not much room for the angle ? I have watched you progress with yours.

As I was typing my earlier response Jerry I was thinking I'm not sure how the rear bars would look or work on a convertible. I've never owned one and honestly have never inspected one closely. I do know though that Wolfe makes one specific for that so it can be done. I can't emphasis enough how nice their bar was or how easy it was to install; and I'm not the brightest bulb in the pack.

I would love to get my hands on a LS2 or LS3. The LS crowd raves about how much more power those make so you shouldn't have any trouble running that index. We ran a couple tenths under before we even put headers on the car and it still had the factory heavy wheels. They respond very well to mods.

We're currently on a mission to run 9s in street trim with the stock bottom end and a little nitrous so I'm not sure how much Class Racing we will do but it's still near and dear to my heart and I will always follow it closely. Maybe one day we will build another LS1 Pure Stocker since my wife drives the Corvette most of the time now and I don't get to drive much.

Thanks Jerry and to you as well. Keep us posted on your progress; I'm very interested in seeing how competitive the LS2 can be.
