Thank you. Very nice of you to say!

Installed the Classic Design sport bar this afternoon. Really pleased with how this piece looks! Gives the car a very muscular appearance.

I'm diggin the sport bar in the verts, it really smartens up the look with the top down.

Out of curiosity we decided to weigh the Factory V8 Brembo brake set up and compare it the the Baer set up.

The factory Brembo uses a large 4 piston caliper on the front and smaller 4 piston caliper on the rear with a 14" one piece rotor front and rear, the rear rotor is slightly larger but i didn't measure it exactly.

Baer uses a massive 6 piston forged monoblok caliper front and rear, and 15" two piece rotor front and rear.

The factory set up with pads weighs 139.6 lbs total.

The Baer set up with pads weighs 122.80 total!

So you get a far better brake set up, and you don't have to visit weight watchers!

Win Win!!

Looks great

Davenport · 01-10-2012, 10:41 AM

It's been a little while since i updated the build. We had to take a little time off of the project to get a few customers car's finished.

New motor build on a GTO, rebuilt the carbs as well, and did some tuning.

New LS7 427 for a certain Camaro that some of you may know from this forum.

I had a bunch of pic's of stuff going on in the shop but, the computer that I have those pic's on is in for repair so these are all I could post.

We started back on the Supercar build last week.

Some pic's of the internals.

Getting ready to go back in the car.

Shot of the 8 Rib balancer.

ZR1 twin disc clutch.

Red TVS 2300 with ported base.

That's all for now, I'll keep updating as we progress.

I'm sure the new 427 is going to make that car get up and go!

Yup, we think it will too!

Davenport · 01-12-2012, 06:11 PM

Work continues.

Engine's in.

Another shot of the brakes.

Getting the engine buttoned up.

Larger intercooler reservoir

Body mods are starting.

Heritage grill.

I'll continue with updates as we proceed.

Davenport · 02-24-2012, 05:45 PM

Well it's been far too long. We put a few body component's on the car, and got the head rest's embroidered. We outsourced both of these jobs, and they both took far longer than expected.

She's all back together now, we've run it on the dyno doing some break in on the motor, driven it for an alignment, and done some tuning on the dyno.

Here are some pics.

Our billet door sills.

Embroidered head rests and CDC sport bar.

Does it look angry to you?

HRE P45S Monobloks, Davenport/Baer 6 piston forged 15" brakes.

Lingenfelter front splitter, CDC side skirts, Heritage grill.

CDC Havoc series rear diffuser.

The Pfadt coil overs gives the car the perfect aggressive stance.

The 315 Nitto Invo's work great in the snow!

And now .................. what you've all been waiting for! The dyno sheet. Remember, the motor isn't even close to be broken in, and this is at 10 lbs of boost with a conservative tune.

Gotta be honest, I love how the torque curve starts at 600 ft/lbs at the wheels!

I'll take better pic's when the weather clears up.

Man, that's got to be awfully chilly with the top down in the winter!
