I need advise from intelligent, mature grown-ups. Otherwise I will do something stupid again!

I would take the S/C stuff out of the #51 car, rework the internals on that C5R engine, make it a fire breathing 427-454 something, do 550-600RWHP, and keep the #51 car. Since the money already is spent,

You would then have an extremely fun 6 speed car, and definetively still a very fast one too,

You're clearly in the wrong place.

Move along, nothing to see here.

New - part of my losses on this car will come from the fact that I have gone from NA to SC now back to NA. So the blower stuff is already out. It is putting 609 to the rear wheels now through a Moser 4:11, so it's got the power. I believe after a few tweaks and tune it will be closer to 650+ RWHP.

Chances are though, we will sell the drive train, Center Force dual disk clutch, racing drive shaft and all as a unit or if necessary piece meal it.

I am leaning toward keeping the C5R engine because I know it's built right and it has very rare 090 C5R heads.

I dont know, i know you have had much work with this car, but damn wouldnt it be cool with that bad a** engine in it, use the DH car as a cruiser, and the #51 as a thing you take out, when you need to relief some pressure.

Im with New on this one... The DH car is cool but people will see you coming the ZL1 is sorta a sleeper except the loud poor idle and when someone wants to race you throw down some s--t...

That's the way I'm leaning. But, selling the GMMG car for $75K with the original running gear in it while keeping all the good expensive stuff is attractive too.
