Just a picture of putting on the hoist to finish stripping the pces off the body steering column, back end wiring, ac/heater housing, wipers and motor, master cylinder , pedals, etc., and getting ready to scrape off the underneath the car and remove some poorly repaired fibreglass in the floor areas.

Sorry I don't know how to attach more than one picture at a time, need to get that figured out, when I attach two the 2nd one just replaces the first one

Before you finalize your decision on the rear end please contact other Big Block Corvette racers that have successfully used an upgraded I.R.S. I have made an
Aluminum 12 bolt I.R.S. casting called the HammerHead for the 2010 Camaro that has been in several test cars with 800 plus hp. I am currently in the process of doing the same for the Challenger, Viper and C4 Corvette I.R.S.

If there is enough interest I can make a cast iron version of the 12 bolt HammerHead for the 63-79 Corvette also. NHRA will not allow an Aluminum replacement differential casting. If you are curious please visit hammerhousing.com for more info. Thank you

Hi
Looks like a great pce.
I may be wrong but it has been my thoughts and understanding that the IRS may use up some hp and with my build of course I am only looking at point a to b in a straight line no corners, having said that thou may be there is a advantage to IRS on a rougher or uneven tracks ?

Are any of your units being used in the copo's in stock eliminator ?
I thought the factory ones came with a 9 inch ? Unless somebody was scratch building one
What are you thoughts on the hp drain from straight tube to IRS

Thanks Rory
