Question Mark.

Do you have a picture of the dash with the Race Technologies dash in Hellfire? Do you have dimensions of that dash? What all components are you running?

I'm looking at gauge options for my car and had previously been looking at the racepak setup but like this as an alternative possibly. I'm using the Holley EFI which makes the racepak simple, but need to research more details on this prior to a commitment.

I can't wait to see this!

I'm not certain, but I believe he used this one.....

BTW - - -some quick googling found a video that V8TV did that has footage of the dash.... I clipped out a picture of it for you.

Thanks yes that is it.

I've got a feeling this is going to be some cool stuff. :D

OH YES !

Removing the downbars from the front of dash (bolted) to the AM subframe (welded) proved to be a little difficult as the sawsall blades dulled quickly. The solution was the "wheel of death". The 7" diameter carbide disc on a 4"grinder is probably not OSHA approved, but it allowed for easy access to the work area and made quick work of the chrome moly tubing.

Gordon --- At least Mark had the OSHA approved flame retardant coat on!!!

With the downbars removed the AM subframe was lowered with a couple floor jacks.

And the new DSE subframe installed.

Mark pocketed the cross member near the RH engine mount to provide clearance for the AC compressor.

Next up, a mockup block, heads and blower were installed to check clearance to the DSE wiper motor.

Greg - Yep, and the hearing protection was a good idea too!

What do you feel you are getting from the DSE subframe that is an improvement over the AM ? Or is it a "sponsorship" thing ?

What's the guesstimate to when JA 2.0 will be completed?

Thank you for finding that info on the cluster for me. I had been searching but couldn't find much for the Camaro application (hellfire).

I like it and will have to see how it stacks up against racepak for Holley applications.

I really know the DSE stuff. I have used it on the last 3 cars and I like the way the car feels with the DSE parts. With some work I could make the AME part work but with the DSE I have a laptop full of notes on how to set it up. the DSE suspension for me is hitting the easy button. It is quicker to swap sub frames than develop the Art Morrison part.

JA 2.0 will be a steel body like Red Devil, drive line like Hell Fire. So it will be 150 heavier than Hellfire and it will have 275 mm tire in the front like Red Devil vs the 315 on Hellfire.

Mark, is JA 2.0 going to be mostly a street car? Or?? I still love this car one of my favorites for sure!!

A lot depends on a couple key partners. Sled Alley is set to rework the following:

Mount the new C&R cooling stack
New trans crossmember
New BIG induction tube
Move dry sump tank
Fix the fire wall and random holes in bottom of car
Repaint bottom, firewall and engine bay

Thomson Auto has the engine parts on order. I hope to have the new engine running in 4 weeks

Ryan Kuhlenbeck if flying in this week to help me wire the car. We are coping the electrical architecture of Hellfire. It is also fun to hang out with him.

When the car gets back from Sled Alley I need to:

Finish the wiring
Make ABS brake lines
Fuel lines
Trans and diff cooler lines
Re Assemble
New carpet
New dash with data logger

So if all goes to plan JA 2.0 should be running mid April.

The key to getting it done is not too much scope creep.

Mark -- Get yourself a roll of 3M Spark Deflection paper and cover that paint up before the VanNus boys see you working around all that nice paint. LOL

Nothing to see here just some "updates" you know clean up a couple parts.....

I didn't see any down bars on Hellfire but it had a full halo in the car I assume its on purpose. Is there enough strength with the DSE combo vs extra under hood packaging of down bars?

Love these builds.

Do you have any pic of the engine sitting on the dse subframe with the AC notch? I wonder why DSE hasn't done this themselves?

The Vintage Air Front Runner they sell does not require the notch....

Don

GPS antennae?
 

Mark, where did you hide the antennae for the Dash2 on Hellfire? I assume you were happy with the functionality of the antennae where ever you put it. Did you notice abnormally long times to get a GPS lock?

yea but thats 2k worth of parts. Notching is a lot cheaper

Don't you find that it leave a lot of Glue residue when you take it off??? we have used it a few times and the clean up it ridiculous. or am I missing something??

Blake -- it does when left on and laid on etc -- but it cleans right up easily with 3M Adhesive Remover or PPG DX330.... and I thought the trade off of that vs the cost and hassle of paint repair was worth the minor effort.

I run 3m blue under it and that comes off clean.

:gitrdun:

LS9 FOR THE WIN!! my god

Are you still going to run the same ZR-1 wheels that are on the car now?

Where does the position A/C compressor?

Up top, passenger side.

Vintage Air Front Runner will not work with blower drive. LS9 accessory drive packages AC compressor passenger side low. It and generator are driven by one belt (6-rib), while SC, H2O pump, PS pump are driven by 2nd belt (11 rib).

I may have missed it, if so, my apologies, but just how much horsepower and torque was the LS9 makin that wasn't enough?

This will make it perfectly clear: https://lateral-g.net/forums/show...&postcount=481

:sieg:

Actually, I recall Jackass at Thomson Automotive last year. Brian told me that Jackass LS9 was getting new CNC LS9 heads and new cam. Interesting to see what was the improvements over the stock LS9.

Jeff

Mark is Sled Alley going to make the changes to LS1 style engine mounts for noise and vibration as Hellfire?

Jeff

We've used Concept One A/C compressor mount for the LS9 and it gave us enough clearance

This question is going to seem to come out of left field...what injectors are you running in both Hell Fire and JA 2 ? I am looking for an injector to support 800 hp NA and did not know if the GM injector is up to the task.

I have looked at this injector as well

Thoughts?

I'm pretty sure he's using fire hose nozzles. I could be mistaken though.

Payton --- start here.
