I wanna say that I spent several days and conversations with Jake about this setup before committing and got comfortable with the setup. A deal isn't a good deal if it's a bad fit for what you're doing. Duh.

What I like is Jake has been running this stuff in his own AIX 2nd Camaro (bad ass BTW) for 4 years and does quite well with it. That means something to me. And he's committed to help support me 100% on installation, tuning and guidance. Thanks Jake if you're reading. :thumbsup:

If I were you I'd throw the subframe in after Buttonwillow if you dont think you'll have time to get it in before that. I have a feeling that once you see all of us out on the track your going to wish you had your car.

Definitely been the modern day trend and for good reason. Adjustability is a key element in being fast.
In all seriousness I imagine maybe someday I'll be heading down the same road. Last year at Buttonwillow I really couldn't give any of those guy's an honest run for the money. Once I'm convinced that I need to drop another bundle to stay competitive then I'll make the change.

Hopefully one day I'll get my POS done and there will be another "dog" to play with

Sometimes you just can't control timing and some parts landed in my lap that I just could not pass up. Good thing the guy takes layaway. Thanks Larry if you're reading! :D

My current subframe with all the goodies is pretty much sold so I guess it's in motion now. :rolleyes:

Here's the goods:

Jake's Rod Shop Apex C6 subframe
6 way Bilsteins front and rear (might upgrade to double adj)
1.25" splined sway bar
Jake's torque arm

Of course this triggers lots of other discussions and decisions to make. I think I'll end up with a Moser or Speedway Floater (using my existing Wilwood brakes front/rear) and a dry sump has entered back into the discussion again.

What is completely up in the air at this point is timeline. It is possible I miss Buttonwillow in September, but if that's the way it has to be for this car to get real serious and solid and safe, then so be it. I wanna get things solid and right with this car before I really start going fast. I haven't been 100% comfortable with my stock sub, 12 bolt with c clips, and a few other things.

I might not have a car at BW in Sept, but I will damn sure be there regardless. :thumbsup:

Not in my possession yet but deposit paid and I'll pick it up in the next month or two. Ok lemme have it. :lolhit:
