He dude, how in the hell are ya? You might reconsider using ls7 lifters, I would suggest Morels. If I was to do mine over from scratch I would do a solid roller cam and a victor jr intake with a throttle body on top. I think it would pick up min of .25 second. My best this year in 200 ft air was 10.04 at 132.7, 3050 lbs. 523 to the rear wheels when ls1 speed dyno the motor in Chris's car locked. Good luck!!

Hey Jason, I'm the proud owner of your silver car. I'm doing a similar set up with the goal of 9s on motor with the 6 speed. Going solid roller, high compression ls2 afr heads and possibly e85. Good luck with your build!!

Midwest Chassie sells the front lexan and a cowl kit. The kit removes the rounded part of the cowl with a flat sheet. They can install it or they offer a do it yourself. It saves around 50 lbs off the front and makes it real easy to work on the engine. Only draw back is you need an extended hood. Chris had them do it to his car last year when they installed his roll cage. ill try to get him to post a picture.
