Mark I think the car looks sick, that stance and front clip are awesome!

Why the shorty headers what was the reason for those? Wont you leave some hp on the table??

The dry sump placement in the cowl. Check out the headers they are from Ultimate Headers they are shorty and fit great.

Awesome work, any idea yet on how you are going to fill the oil tank yet?

I'm using 2002 Camaro LS1 engine mounts to get better noise and vibration performance. The Urethane one put a ton of noise into the car.

Right now the car is slammed and has 315s on the front and 335s on the rear. Looks like they will work. I'm waiting for the BFG Rivals to see how big they are before I settel in on a tire and wheel. It has 18 X 11 front and 18 X 12.5 rears.

In all of our dyno testing these blower motors are fairly insensitive to back pressure. In fact Mayhem made 877 HP through the stock LS9 exhaust manifolds. These "shorty" headers let me use the 2002 engine mounts and frees up a ton of space and are lighter. Less mass up front.

We will A-B these headers on a dyno test soon at Thomson's, but Katech dynoed them and did not loos much on a N/A engine. I really like them they look like nice parts.

Mark looks great, so is the plan to still be at Optima this year?? Also are you leaving the carbon front unpainted or will it get painted??

We are going to make a remote fill point through the firewall with a dip stick. We upped the dry sump tank volume to 12 quarts just to be safe.

We also moved the ABS rearward to clean up packaging and move mass back.

I also used the Too Much Fabrication weld in mounting bosses to mount it (see top mounting boss). They work great. I have a bag of these weld on bosses and plan to use a lot on this build.
