Looks great! :thumbsup:

That car is going to fun! Congrats on making it happen.

Had supports made to raise the rear wing
Decals on the back...
Working on another wing between the supports
on the deck like a Gt3 Porshe

Engine is being installed on the Dyno so getting close

Picked up some scuff tires from a guy who
runs a Greenwood Vette... $25 each... it will
cost me more to mount them but good for testing

Bob

That's awesome, Bob. Do you have an event in particular you hope to attend with the car?

GT-1
 

Trey,
I am going to run with Checkered flag racing... started by
Pantera guys.... first event is at Laguna in April.... hope I
can get things done by then

Bob

Awesome. I hope you can make it. Good luck!

Sb2 engine finally complete... tuning on the Dyno
last weekend... a little more jetting then I pick it up

Bob

You can't post that without the HP numbers :shakehead:

Agreed! :)

GT-1
 

Builder still needs to do maybe one more jet
downsizing 4 at a time... number is actually lower than what
we thought but he did pull some lift out and valve timing
to make it live.... will let you know final numbers when I
pick it up later this week

Wish I was smart enough to resize the video 60 mb
It does sound really mean with the cross over exhaust

Bob

Do you have the video on Youtube?

GT-1
 

Video is actually on my phone

Finally picked up my Sb2 engine on Saturday
He took some lift out of the cam 700 vs 750
and played with the cam timing to help the engine
live a little longer.. not big numbers but it will work
on the track and I can spin it to 8500 with no issues

Hp 683 at 8000 rpm
torque 470 at 7000 rpm

Engine finally in... had to play with mounts
as engine plate was a little different than the Hendricks engine

Bob

GT-1
 

Picked up a 79 Ta the other day
Has speedtech front and rear suspension (leafs)
with viking shocks, new ridetech steering
Has a premium package which means everything
including power windows, tilt, cruise, AC, rear defroster,
T Tops, trunk release, dual rear power antennas
and it is in really good shape... love a TA dash and this
one is perfect

Paint needs some work and may respray it
Will see what the paint Dr can do to fix it up

403 automatic car so nothing special there yet

Upgrades coming
Subframe connectors, true dual exhaust and headers
Engine change maybe later, roll bar

Nice! :thumbsup:

Couldn't stay away, eh? Car looks nice. Enjoy!

Almost done with the Race car but concerned my
single 4" Extreme muffler will not do much to quiet the
car down for most California Tracks.. Saw this set up
on a Trans am car at the Monterey Historics this past
weekend... Not sure if two 3" mufflers would be louder
than the one 4" muffler I have for it now??

Bob

I would think a single 4" would be louder than twin 3".

GT-1
 

So instead of finishing up the exhaust on the race car I have been
cleaning up the New Ta... Exhaust, lowering it... stereo
with blue tooth, etc... My future son in law picked up
a 78 Ta with 26k (white car) miles on it.. he is changing belts, exhaust
tips and heater core next
Trying to decide how far I take my car as it is a nice driver now
406 Dart engine etc or Ls???... by the way the 70 firebird on the left
is my buddies, full cage, ridetech suspension with a 448 LS engine
Getting close to finishing it up... he plans on racing the hell out of it

Bob

GT-1
 

Finally finished the exhaust... did the two 3" Sprint car
Mufflers along with a 4 1/2" straight exhaust for tracks that
allow. Finishing up a bunch of little things but almost ready
for a test run

Eleven months after receiving my SB-2 engine back we finally
got it to run last night... we were chasing an electrical issue
and finally after many hours figured out the Gm Weather connectors
to the dizzy magnets (we have a dual ignition system) were flipped from
the old Hendricks engine to the Hutter Sb-2 engine
The car sounded like it was out of time and backfiring badly
but we never touched the dizzy since the Dyno

All good now... hoping to test at Thunderhill on Feb 23rd if the
weather is good

Bob

Finally took the Race Car down the street this last weekend
Going to tune and test on Friday at Thunderhill to see how
things shake out. Car's turning radius not the best as the tires
hit the duel cooling hoses for the front brakes. Just no U turns
with this Car. I have another wiring issue with the inline fans
on the brakes. I finally plugged them in and two fans stay on
all the time and the other two are on switches..... some how they
seem to be backfeeding into the starter.. another wiring issue
to deal with later... won't need them yet for a tune and test day

Bob

So took the the race car to Thunderhill last weekend
Biggest issue was seeing overing the Big cowl hood
on right hand turns...put some foam under the seat
and it was a little better.... Car then got a meatballed for
sound 105 and 107 on a 103 day,,,,,, pedaled it around the
track in a higher gear for the next round... putting a different
air cleaner and a lower hood on the car..,,, adding another set
of mufflers on the car.....
Racing with CFRA on April 1st at Laguna on a 105 day
First shakedown not bad for a new car....hoping to do well
against a McClaren and Lotus... time will tell

Bob

GT-1
 

Took the Race car to Laguna for a 105 db day
It now has a second set of mufflers and no issues... changed
the hood so I can see out of the car now. Car is fast
Driver still needs to catch up to the thing.. finally hit
8200 down the front straight (chip is set at 8300 to
help make the engine last longer) Need to move the
seat over to the center slightly as my head is hitting the
roll cage slightly..... will adjust the front splitter slightly
down as it seems to be pointing up... covered half of the
radiator inlet so I now have heat in the engine
....other than that good day

Fuel cell started leaking at the top
seams.. 2015 date so it is time to replace
I am getting a plastic tank and putting
all the guts from the Fuel Safe inside
Picture of pickup sump... I thought it was
pretty cool
