Yeah , but notice I said "under class weight". I doubt the car will get there with weight in it. On top of that everybody and thier mother is going big block with twins now. We'll just have to see how everything shakes out , but we're not gonna leave anything on the back burner. Gonna be fun either way!

Without the radiator, how long do you think you have prior to overheating?

Nice build by the way!

Thats a sweet setup, but I'm kind of surprised that you're still running a wet sump. Unless its against class rules.

Looks great so far

what cage cert are you going for?

double check the rules on the parachutes too...I believe they need 2 separate bolts for the tethers.

I'll check on the parachute thing. I think I'm gonna go ahead and send it back to the chassis shop and get the 25.3 stuff accomplished. I have already been told that my tranny mount X member wont make cert, it has to be inegrated into the lower cage bars instead of on the chassis structure of the unibody. The car was supposed to be good for a 25.2 cert as it was :dunno: . Lyndon will get it right for me though , I have faith !

looks to be missing undercar stuff for 25.2. topside looked good from what I saw. 25.3 is the way to go for sure. I'm updating mine from 25.5.

think it'll be out in the spring?

Oh yeah, I'll have the car ready before the tracks are ready for test and tune sessions. What did you see on the bottom of the car that made you come to the conclusion that it wont cert 25.2?
