    Another no. Factory manifolds only. Still restricting from there anyway...

    The 5.slows can as the Cobras came with them stock, but they need to be the factory correct type. Only stock manifolds need apply for the LT1. There's no point in opening that up as they need to be restricted anyway.

    Cory's car (previous Matt's) never raced in legal CMC trim so the long tubes were never an issue. It obviously would need to be converted prior to racing for points/contingency.
    Any quasi-legal car can "fun run" just to shake down while the driver gets the non-compliant issues sorted.

    It never offended anyone. IIRC it only ran one event as a fun-run many years ago prior to Cory owning it.

    I keep restricting and lowering hp but torque stays North of 317.59avg. Soon will be in the 240's and have illegal torque so looking for other ways to get hp... But kill torque. Short of cutting a custom cam.... Lol!

    We did bump the start RPM for Dyno pulls to 2500 in case that peak number is right at 2000 when you crack the gas.
