Finally got the motor on the dyno. 852.71 peak HP @ 7100 rpm, 685 peak torque @ 5900 rpm. Should be enough.

Not bad for an NA motor. The AFR was a little fat, especially 3500-4500 rpm, and the timing was only at 34 degrees, so there was a little more to be had with tuning. I will do that when I get it on the chassis dyno.

It's hard to tell via DSE's site, but is there now some semblance of an upper control arm? Aside from that, it looks very similar to the C4 setup (with batwing!), which I recently learned was largely pirated from early Indy car-type setups (makes me feel better about my C4 stuff) . . .

Nice stuff!
So...Paul.....
"deca" being the Roman prefix for "ten"......i.e. 5 links per side.....q.e.d.

Thank God for the Romans....

Bruce Jenner...not so much

Haven't posted in a while. Finished up the Decalink rear suspension and rebuilt the trunk where I cut it up to do the rear suspension install. Added a fuel door in the deck lid so I didn't have to open the trunk (with the wing and supports that run through to the frame) every time I refueled. Cut the firewall out to move the motor back 6 more inches (for a total of 15) to get clearance between the dry sump pump and the lower control arms. Turned out to quite complicated since I had to modify the x-member to get clearance for the rear mounted starter motor and so I could pull the transmission from below the car instead of out through the cockpit, but I'm getting it done. Looks like my driveshaft will be 19 inches long - LOL

The open 3 inch holes get air hoses that bring air from the side scoops to the differential and fuel coolers.
