I would love to but we have only has the car to the track once and the 24 hour 1500 mile ride doesn't seem worth the money at this point. If they didn't change the rules in the series then I think I would be very competitive and I would have gone. But I won't drive all that way for nothing. I will be at the season opener for next year. Anyways I am racing CamnHawk on Saturday at US41 in Indiana hopefully.

Ok. lol I will try to get some pics up to show all the details of the set up. I can fit through the hole in my trans tunnel and i am 260 lbs so start cutting because i'm sure you will have to cut more. Believe it or not I can still use my stock center console. It looks kinda funny but I can use it.

i have c5r heads....he has a liberty trans which weighs 50lbs less than a th400, and puts down sick horsepower with little drive train loss....


Matt has more weight savings mods than I do, and he should be even lighter having a formula

Aluminum wing???
Pin on hood???

Its easy to say your car weighs 3300....I can say my car weighs 3300 too

Do you think the wing saves weight or something? It goes off the factory wing? Are you sure the Liberty trans weighs 50 lbs less than a th400 cause that bitch is heavy as hell putting it in. I will stick with my car weighing 3300lb with me in it though. But I will hit the scale and find out an exact number.
