I wish I could say the car will be ready and finished to race for the event but it will be tough. I'm getting into my busy part of the year so staying on top of this will be a little tough.
What I have been doing is getting Dennis @ DMC a ton of parts so he has what is needed to finish the car on his end. It most likely will roll out of DMC turn key 100% done.
He got the intercooler today and just placed it into the car. You would think it was built for the spot, well it was. Rick at Exile Turbo did a great job and it fit great. I hope to have a few more pictures and updates next week for everyone. Here is a picture.

We are just doing some chassis stuff under the rear of the car and wanted to place my set of 315 Radials under it to see how they look.
Here is a pic. I also have a few other chassis pics to post but have to upload them first. I wil do that later and get them up.

Thanks guy.
Sorry for not doing any updates. We have a ton of work at the shop and projects here at my house and by the end of the day I'm burnt out. I will get hot and heavy into it after Gainesville. I have the Shakedown in Palm Beach this coming weekend and the Gainesville. Then I will have the time to get stuff up.
Thanks Ed

Sorry guys.
Yes progress has been going on but I just haven't had a change to post stuff. I hope to be able to post something late next week. I have been out on the road in West Palm doing testing and trying to get the bike ready for this weekend. Once I get back and get caught up at the shop I will post some stuff.
Thanks for following it and being patient.

Thanks guys. [email protected] was a fun ride. I'm just happy to have started the year right where I ended last year with a win.
I hope to have some updates next week.

I'm sorry guys for slacking. I've been busy as hell and just have not had time. Just so many hours in a day and I have to use them for what works best at that time. However I do have the time now so I will post a few things. Some of this stuff is old so I will try and keep updating as I can.
I got some more motor stuff. The final parts I were waiting for are here.
ATI Super Damper. It was made with a hub in the rear to run the dry sump setup and is still wide enough for a extra belt if ever needed to run something else. I also had a shell with magnets in it for the crank trigger.
I also got a SFI ATI Super Plate. The flexplates are double MIG/TIG welded for additional strength and to pass SFI specs for safty.
I also got a Wilson Billet 105mm Throttle body with a V-Band setup. It speaks for it self and here are the pictures.
For the wireing of the car I went to Speedwire Systems. These guys make a killer set-up that blows away all others. It is a very clean and easy install. Everything in one little block that goes to one main control box with one cable. I told Gil at Speedwire what I had and he made a system to fit it all.
No onto some the car. I know everyone has been saying I need more on the chassis and I will be trying my best to get them. I worked out a deal with someone that will stop by DMC every week or so and shoot some pictures of all the progress. Here is some stuff that I had from a little bit back and as I get updates I will post them here.
SO here are a few inside shots of the 25.3 cage. Some changes were made and bars added but this will help you get a idea.
Once the motor was fitted into the car it gave us a better idea of what it was going to take to make it all work. Here are some pictures of that. We had to open up and make a dog box area for the back of the intake and we will mostlikely mount the throttle body inside the car to keep it clean and neat under the hood. Here are some of those pictures with the Joe Van O nose mocked up.
The next stuff I post will be the building of the headers and hot side of the turbo system but that will be in a few days. I have to get the pictures uploaded and resized first. Thanks and check back soon. EK
