I don't really have much here on my end with chassis stuff from DMC but I have got a bunch of parts. All I got pictures of at this point is the trans.
I went with a ATI Superglide 4. This thing has all the options ATI has to offer.
First I hope to never have trans issues so that is whay I went with the Superglide 4. This thing is rated to 3000+ HP and has all the larger shafts etc... in it.
Also one great option is the external pump set up. As most of you may know a turbo car is really hard on the fluid since they always take a few seconds to spool up and that heats up the fluid in the converter. Well what happen is the converter stays hot when the car is not running and that in turn boils the fluid in the converter until it cools. Well now all I have to do is run the pump for 5 mins after the run and that will allow the cooler in the ice box to really help cool the trans and fluid down. That should be a huge help in the life of the whole trans.
Next is the converter. I went with the Outlaw Series 10 1/2. They are a really nice part and have 6 mounting tabs to keep it on the flex plate. I got 2 of them that I will have to tweak on a little bit. I will have one that will be set up tight and one set up looser. This will allow for a little bit of adjustment for race track set-ups. That is where the testing will come in once this thing hits the track.
Once I get a chance after this weekends race I will post some pictures of the Strange Pro Series 2 Brakes and all the MSD stuff.
Also now that DMC has got Jason Reiss in house doing some stuff for them I asked Jason to please update the thread with progress pictures on the car over the next few weeks. So you will see some stuff I would think in the coming weeks.
Thanks guys

I've got something to post, finally.
Dennis working on custom headers for Eddie.
Three of the four tubes mocked up, the other side is already complete -
These showed up today!

Hard to really see in the pic but those exhaust ports look kinda buried behind the flange opening. Looks like it was clearanced a little-how does it line up? What size primaries being used?

Thanks for posting some pics up.
As for the header flange. They were a little small and were opened up to not get in the way of the port.
I also got a set of the wheels in 10 1/2 wide for my 275 tires. I got the 12 inch ones a while back for the 315's and just thought it would make sense to have the same off set done and just change the back space to work for the smaller tires. This will allow the outer part of the tire to be in the same spot and keep the same look with either tire.
I'm sure Jason will post some more in the coming weeks.

Congrats on the win and the cover shot on ND. Fly like an eagle! lol.
I'm sure it is hard to spend much time with the car as your season is kickin in high gear.. But it will be worth waiting for.
The headers are looking sweet. Nice job!

Thanks for the good words. This season has been tough but is going really well. Our bike is not where it needs to be yet and I hope we get it going more consistent soon.
Well here are some pictures of the brakes I went with. Strange Pro Series 2. I wanted to use the new Pro Series for a few reasons but the most important one is they have a floating rotor. That makes it a lot nicer when you are breaking to keep pedal fade to a minimum. It also assures the car will roll a lot easier with out the chance of the rotor dragging on the pads if they get a a little out of true.
front spindle mount set up
Floating area
One the rear it also has the Pro Series 2 Rotors with Duel 4 piston calpers. This stuff is light but made really well.
Well that it all I have with me since I'm out on the road. When I get back home Friday I will put some MSD Stuff up over the weekend.
Thanks

Those brakes are very nice, i hope to have some of them sooner or later. I hope i get to see the car run when you get it done. You plan on trying to make any of the lsx event's?
