Thanks! The Sparco seats weigh 19 lbs ea. I believe the stock seats weigh 50-60lbs ea so about 40-50 lbs of weight was saved.

Car went in last night and will be getting dynotuned today and will get tow hooks installed as well. We have been having some issues with the fuel pump and will be swapping it out as well.

car only went on for 10 mins

made over 700whp in top of 3rd and bottom of 4th and then started running lean; we'll put a new fuel pump in it on monday (the eliminatior) and make another pull next week. The car should go over 800 once we get the new fuel pump in.

Here's a vid of my dyno run. As stated above, the car started running lean at 4500rpms so we let off and were not able to reach full power or boost.

We hit 700 @ 4500rpms which is really good. Keep in mind this is on 91 octane gas, low boost, and no methanol. At full boost we should be over 800whp , figure in switching to 110 octane, tuning in methanol for power and the numbers are unimaginable. I'll also be adding the OZMO Engineering Carbon Fiber Intake Manifold which will further boost my power levels.

Car is scheduled to get dynoed again and we'll leave it there until I get a better feel for the car. If everything goes well I plan on doing AutoX with the SoCal family and streets of willow track day on sunday.

The carbon fiber radiator shroud arrived today as well and will be getting installed shortly!

Car's getting dynoed today; planning on running AutoX this saturday and Streets of Willow on sunday to see how well the car performs.

Here's a picture of the intake manifold I'm getting from OZMO Engineering. It should be here by the end of the month or early Feb. Only thing that will be different is the carbon fiber will have a smaller weave.

Are the fuel rails built in? How's the Dollar stacking against the OZ monopoly money right now? Was it ridiculously expensive?

Fuel rails are actually hidden in the middle at the bottom. Price is a little steep but adds a lot more power wise compared to the $1k FAST intakes out there. Its pretty close in price to a sheet metal or aluminum intake from Hogan or similiar companies.
