Be nice to see 550 on boost. Which I don’t see being much of an issue.
Bottle will still be hooked up too. [emoji41]

Finally finished up moving the battery to the trunk.
Added a solid state battery disconnect as well.

Everything has an individual circuit breaker. Electronics, alternator and main power are all protected.

Reused my XS power battery. Amazed it fit into the Moroso battery box.

Disconnect control button is mounted where the key for the trunk used to be.
I’ll wire up the electronic latch actuator so it’s off the main disconnect and hide a button externally to pop the trunk.

 

[Milhouse]

Battery disconnect control button. Probably going to get it powder coated black.

 

[BOTTLEFED]

Race car now!!

 

[Milhouse]

Getting closer to finally being done. Just waiting on my transmission to be built and a few things to come back from being powder coated.

Ordered a 4r70w from BCA transmissions. Fully built and ready for a trans brake. All billet and forged internals. Extra clutches...etc. Should handle more power than this engine will ever make.

I’ll need a fuel system but that can wait for now.

I’m just at the point I want to hear it!

sweet fucking fuck

 

[IDAFC21]

soon as i saw this thread bumped I knew i wasnt going to regret looking in here.

 

[BOTTLEFED]

Hell yea!

 

[greasy]

Looks great! This 2V might make some PAH!

What’s the ultimate plan for the car?

is she just a driver that sees the track a couple times a season?

ive got a soft spot for cars around this power level. Cars have gotten so crazy that I feel like if you’re not making 800hp + it’s irrelevant

Weekend cruiser mostly.
Hopefully it will see more strip time this year.

junk

Damn this thing looks rowdy! Good to see a car being built with its original power plant! How many PAHz do you want to make?

Thanks!

I never really had a power goal. I think with the current fuel setup though, 5/550 should be attainable.

 

[Eagle]

It'll be a TON of fun at that power level. I think 600WHP is the perfect street car be a great driver.

Trans came back today.

Carl Palmenteri/High Performance Transmission Specialties built it for me after I heard nothing back from my previous guy for over 2 months.

Now I’m waiting on The UPS guy to bring my Glenn’s performance fuel stuffs.

Man I can’t wait to hear a 400hp 2v! [emoji1787]
