I'm restoring my whole Vette. To date Ive got polyurethane toi replace all the rubber bushings, nitrogen shocks, composite rear spring & cut down 500# front springs. I also added modified rear trailing arms so I can mount 10" rear wheels. So what else should I replace if I want to take her road racing ? Are there any kits for racing A Arms ? Where to get racing parts for a C3 ?
On the drivetrain, I have a new 509cid engine, a jerico 4 speed trans, larger new radiator, centerforce clutch. Will I need to redo the internals on the rear diff ? Whats the best ratio for a high speed track like Watkins Glen or Pocono. I think with side pipes she will be Way too loud for Lime Rock :) so I wont worry about the proper gears there
