Hell yeah, looking forward to more updates. Did this car make some runs at the Force-Fed event a little over a year ago? Who's dyno do you use, National Speed?

Got a few things done today to remove weight, first was the Brakeman rear brake setup. These saved 21lbs vs the stock rear brakes.





Then I swapped out my modified factory rear mustache bar for one made by Vassil, shaved off 6lbs here.



Weighed it today with everything assembled, current race weight with me in it is down to 2728 with all the fluids and me in it. Still lots of places to drop a lot of weight too.

I'd be happy with your motor with full weight .
That thing must be a land rocket.

Beautiful work and I am very jealous of that dry sump system. Do you still run an alternator on the car ? Reason i ask is if its in the rear of the engine then thats where the scavange pump goes... unless you have something fancy like the alternator driven off the rear diff or a 16v system
