Oh, I also measured up a Cerb at Joospeeds a short while ago. I'm also sure the LS1/X will fit in there. The ls1/torque would drive it crazy!

I'm still looking out for a donar chassis with a blown engine? Must be one somewhere near me.

Nano2nd, My custom flanges bolt right onto the heads. From them I can fabricate just about anything for induction options Downdrafts would look really good but they'd poke through the bonnet

Thanks Al
Yeah the brakes are overkill on the road car,but will be put on one of the chev powered cars along with the other gear,however the peddle feel is fine and they dont bite like you would imagine.It sure stops though.
Dampers are Ohlin 2 way bump/rebound adjustable with remote resevoirs.


Oh I kept the pink valves,because its still a Chim,right!

Any issues getting this road legal in NZ? Or where the cars imported before the LTSA decided to make life difficult?

Ah, thanks Paul, I know the LTSA were working on an exemption for rad legal race cars, thought yours might have fallen into that category.

Ah, got the link at last. Bit of a squeeze and my spanners probably won't be any use. I thought you had found a duffed up tiff

There is one more thing folk are forgetting.

The exhaust in the Chimaera/Griffith isn't the best in the world.
Its pretty ancient and wasn't designed to take advantage of pulse tuning in the first place. In fact its design is more about Cat location and space issues than anything else.

How much horsepower will you lose over a Corvette Zorst system?

Will it flow enough volume to allow a 400 hp motor to breath enough?

The headers will still be tubular and to save costs it makes sense to connect them to the existing tiff system. There's no reason why you couldn't fit a custom system, it just costs more. As for power, well you could start with a genuine 400hp/lbs ft and work upwards from there
