A C6 might be worth looking at. While a C5 Z06 is really cool, the standard C6 makes nearly the power and has a better cooling system, I'd care to bet a Z51 package car would be very nearly as fast...

If you're going to put in the baffle, I'd suggest also installing a Killer B pickup (or equivalent). There appear to be two separate issues that require attention, cornering starvation and high rpm...

No, I'm just welding it in because that's the usual way to do it, one way or another you don't want it rattling around.

Why? Oil pans (and pickups) are free in ST per 14.10.A. Please quote the actual rule you reference, not "the rules".

If you haven't already, I'd suggest doing the pan and pickup if you're going to raise the redline, especially if you want to push 8k.

Thanks for the suggestion, half the reason I want to drive better is to prove my setup works. A trophy (at a national event) might be too much to ask, but it's fun to try :D

Finally getting around to creating a thread for this year :D

I got some more done on the car last year and did a bunch of events. Overall I'm happy with the setup, less so with the driver :lol:

I'd agree that in general the suspension/tire setup vastly outweighs any engine mods in an autocross. In our case we have an easy metric - SSC. As I see it, until I can run with the best SSC cars...

The basis of my cost comment is that it looks to me like the 15 pound 680 is a lot cheaper than an ATX-20 or 30. I haven't priced a ten pound AGM so I'm guessing they're more than a 680 at ~$150.

Take the kids for a couple drives in the next two weekends, that oughta do it :D

Otherwise, yeah, I think I'd change the oil prior to the event even if it's a little short of 1000.
