Went away for a couple of weeks so didn't have a chance to check on anything. Ended up buying something for the V in Atlanta...
Wow that looks big enough to live in. Very nice.

Car looks fantastic!!

You're running headers only right? Nice dyno numbers for only headers. What does ST2 allow in the V?

I'm gonna need to lighten up the driver now too :)
You would think adding that cage would have negated it but...The stock front seats are like 60-80lbs a piece, I got rid of that anchor of a clutch/flywheel. The TD wheels are lighter, the 2 piece rotors helped and switching to lexan helped alot. The best part is there are still some things I can do
I'm assuming the AC compressor is gone right?

Junior1 is swanky. He might need the AC. ;) Since he's not quite finished, just wasn't sure he removed it yet and whether the weight was with or without it.

Good luck Chris. Nice work. If Fischer and Buttermore can be winners, so can you!

We ended up using a C5 Vette upper steering shaft and a corvette hub...
Chris
Any reason the hub adapter for the Cadi wasn't used? Sparco and Momo both list hub adapters for the non telescopic Cadi columns. Do the steering wheel buttons on the Momo control anything? BTW send me those brake ducts and I'll give them a shot.

Always meant to ask if you're running a fuel cell. Understand you don't need to with our car anyway. The reason I ask is because in one of your pics it looks like a fire system tube and nozzle is penetrating the rear bulk head you had fabbed up. I assumed this was headed for the trunk where a fuel cell would mount. ATL has a cool one that mounts in the spare tire well. It's only 12 gallons but most of us can probably get away with it.


Ooops.....remember you posting Phoenix drilled a hole in the tank by mistake..... so no fuel cell. So what's that line going to the rear trunk area?
