Definatley switch. If the c4 has been modified it will more than take the HP of your cleveland. I run a C4 in my 69 fastback racer, it weighs 2835# with me in it, and it has gone 10.12 at 128 mph with a cleveland.

I AGREE. i've seen c4's live behind brutal 460's....the rotating mass and vehicle weight will be the obvious benefits. ------------------ 67 coupe, 650dp and rpm intake on 5.0 with afr 165 heads, 4 speed, 4.11's.....best so far is [email protected] in 1/8 mile with 1.91 60ft. time.

I have been considering switching from my current C6 to a C4 also. What specific C4 application and what mods need to be done to last behind a 400 hp 3500 lb street car, as well as Dave and Shellie's application. Thanks, Tom
