Lateral-g Forums - Introducing Project Unfair, The fastest All Around Pro Touring Car On The Planet!

A few things slowed the process. We bought a new facility and moved in April so project took a back seat to the move and regular business. Instead of working on the car weekends and nights I have spent all my weekends and nights working on the new building getting it just the way I want it. Also writing and photographing a story for Super Chevy for every breath you take slows things WAY down. So far 9 stories are printed and 2 more are turned in and ready to publish, with 4 to 6 more stories after that. So when it is finished we will be somewhere between 14 and 17 stories? That will be somewhere close to 100 pages on Project Unfair!

Also made a major change to the engine and had to bring the engine build in house after Pat Musi had a nasty wreck which broke his vertebrate! He is going to be all good but has some recovery time and could not give the engine the personal attention it needed. That actually works out OK for us as our in house engine program is growing rapidly so we should be building the engine anyway. Now instead of 12 pages on our Pat Musi engine it will be 12 pages on the Prodigy Power engine.

A interesting side benefit of the delays is that some of the issues we were facing early on, now solutions have come with time. A big one was the oiling system for the RHS block. Having got one of the first production RHS blocks, there was no dry sump option that did not include a external pump which was causing major packaging and front drive issues. So for a while we had aborted the dry sump. But now we have found a solution and can run a internal dry sump system similar to the factory LS7 stuff which is WAY easier to package. So back to dry sump it is which is a real good thing with all the wet sump engine failures other builders have been facing.

So machine work on the engine is done and we are doing the engine article as we speak. I hope to have dyno numbers in the next couple weeks but have a dozen customer engines in the works right now so our toy will get done when we can.

We we started the project there was no commitment to be done at a specific time or event. None of our sponsor obligations have anything to do with being at any specific event or deadline. All goals and deadlines have been self imposed. With that said, while there is no self imposed deadline for completion, we do kinda want to be testing in the good weather before it gets to hot here in Florida. And while the weather is so nice now (brutal hot summer this year) it makes it a lot easier to get excited about working in the evenings on toys.

In the meantime my Unfair partner John has been using the extra time to dial in his driving skills. John moved up drastically in his HPDE classes and is now soloing and setting some of the fastest laps of the sessions with his ZO6 Corvette. All prepping himself to race this weapon we are building.
