Drop me a line when the next event is coming up and I will see if I am able to get that way.
You can also come to Harris Hill Road in Kyle Texas or a COTA Event too.

My only concern, is there already proven experience with this exact clutch/flywheel setup? I've seen folks lose weight here on other cars (not 427) and then create harmonics problems that breaks cranks or loosens the dampener bolt.

It's a first class mod package, well done!

Zfatuated, I actually run the same clutch set up on my Orange Z that I had out when you and brt3 came down to Thunderhil and I have been using it for about a year. No issue with any harmonics issues etc, and a significant cut in weight over the OEM clutch (like around 40lbs!). It's awesome on the track because of the low MOI but being honest it's a little difficult yo use on the street.

It will just not rev or decel as fast with the heavy stock clutch flywheel. It is truly a complete new car with the added power.......... I love it.

Mods, a bit north of 10G, the clutch/flywheel alone is 6G.

Nice build, your running a lot of the same parts that I have on my Z that was built by Katech. As far as the cam is concerned based on your numbers I'm guessing that you are running their K501 cam right? On a side note I love your math, it brings back memories of me talking to my SO about my car. No dear that new carbon fiber wing was not expensive, it was only a couple hundred dollars At the end of the day the enjoyment comes first but I would guess that just slightly south of 20k would be a more accurate estimate

Sweet, and LOL................ "No dear, none of this was expensive"

You are correct on the K501 cam.
