    Won't you need a transmission upgrade to handle that?

    I will likely have to rebuild the T56 or swap to a beefed up T6060.

    I have a twin disk Exedy clutch, hardened axles and a brace that ties the trans and rear together (Corvettes have a rear mount trans).

    Drivetrain longevity will depend on how aggressive I get with tires and launching.

    I think you'll need a fuel tank upgrade too

    With this setup there is a separate fuel tank, pump, regulator, etc that feeds the nitrous system. This allows you to run pump gas in the original tank and C16 only when you're spraying.

    I had a motor built and now I'm finishing up direct port nitrous setup.

    Practically is boring.

    Lower everything



    But seriously, I really want to build an old Caddy on bags.

    You have to tell your insurance company about mods?
