Yup. About 20 rwhp in my case. When my car came off of the last dyno we realized that on a cool morning and with some 19s or 20s my car could be close to 600 at the wheels.

Horse power. Hard to make, easy to lose.

I'm waiting for a cool day to go back to dyno my car with the new 20s. I'll let you know if there's a difference.

When I saw your car the other night, I nearly flipped out! They were supposed to have that on Brandi BEFORE you got back!

Oh well...better late than, "Um....license plate frame? Sorry. I don't know what you are talking about."

Hope you like it, bro.


...and, if I may say, ....


Congratulations!!!

This is the officially not set in stone latest schedule...

I will be arriving at Coreys shop sometime mid to late morning Monday, and Brent has graciously offer to help me start stripping the guts out of Brandi for the cage install...I'm thinking first will be the main cage, get it in, located, checked and re checked, then weld it down... Next will be locating the door bar bases, and then move on to the Halo and the forward downpipes... They attach to the same plate as the door bars... I figure if things go well and Corey doesn't get too tied up, we will be able to finish the welding and fitting on Tuesday, and then put the car back together... Fingers crossed... There is quite a bit of welding to go and some of it will be really close to the headliner... We'll tack it in with a mig machine where that's convenient, and the balance of the welding will be Tig welded... Lots cleaner and a better weld.... Corey will have to be a contortionist for some of this... I'll make a decision then on the rear seat delete... I'll probably leave it for now, and design something to fill in/replace the back seat... no one will be riding back there anyway... and I'm hoping to lose 75 + lbs back there... The cage is adding about 190 lbs, so I'm on a weight loss hunt...

Obviously this is subject to change, depending on the emergencies that crop up over the weekend, but thats the latest...

Unfortunately no plan last past the first 5 minutes of battle...

It'll happen, I've learned some patience on this build... and then there is the Speedster, he qualifies for SaintHood with his level of patience...
