This is good to know. Looking at doing a fast streetcar Clone for the F.A.S.T. type stuff and was worried about the rear.

Thanks for the info

I have a short transverse spring, NEW, which I have carried around for years since I had my 67 vette. We sold the car before the coil overs became popular in SS.
It is for sale for $75 plus frt if anyone wants it. Dick Butler 937-623-8126

If I were to do another Corvette it would be with Tom's stuff and the L-88 Automatic,
We ran SS corvettes year's ago with Tom's stuff, It held up to 700 hp plus.
Why put the solid rear in a Corvette and make it like a Camaro.
You take the best part of the car away.
With the 502's in Top Stock Matt Morgan and I had the same HP.
He always ran the same ET but I would run a bit more speed. (I had a 12 bolt solid rear)
I have the feeling the IRS would run a bit quicker.How much, That's the question.

Ken,
What did Bogan have in his? Yours worked very well everywhere.
Still miss your coffee and BBQ coleslaw!

I miss the coffee and BBQ with all the people, we had a good time,,,,
The Cook Out at Rockingham was the Best !!!!

The Solid 12 Bolt Rear Is Faster And Safer !!!!!! Than That IRS Stuff You Have Less Rotating Weight. If You Break A Ring And Pinnion With That Machined Center Section It Is A Nightmare. And It Is Out Lawed To Race At An NHRA Bracket Race With An IRS Rear. Read The Rule Book. I Had The First Ever Solid Rear End In A Stock NHRA Corvette. Myself And Mark Oswald Installed The Rear In My Car. We Received The Best Enginered Car Award At The 1998 Houston Nats. For The Rear End.
