Ok, a couple of answers...
Yes, that's a tranny dipstick.
Yes, that's a POS seat that will soon be changed. At the time I needed something THAT DAY and it was all I could get my hands on. It's LIGHT though!
I have no idea what that foam block is. It would be one helluva ride if you used that for a passenger's seat though.
Nope, not worried about heat soak. That air won't be in there long enough to get hot.
"Upper stress bar"??? Are you talking about those cute little strut tower brace thingys that get in the way of working on the engine that the autocross guys use? This car knows nothing but drag slicks!
Yes, we had an oiling engine. It needed a dry sump system. It got one. Problem solved.

Looks great! but I have one suggestion.
Have the top of the intake manifold powder coated, then CNC a unicorn in the middle of it.
It doesn't have to be a girly unicorn... It *could* be a badass charging unicorn about to ram ya. But still, the unicorn is fitting.
So what's it dyno?

What does it dyno....well, I'm not telling! J/K There have been some problems with the FAST unit (no surprise there!) that have had us beating our heads against the wall. No dyno numbers with the current setup as of yet.
