Hey Jake do you know the cam specs ? also what compression are you running?

Those are some pretty good numbers.

The radiator mods look great.

Love this car! The straight shot intake over the radiator on a high HP LS engine over one with a 90* bend will add an easy 20rwhp+.

We have tested this on a number of conversion cars running LSx swaps.

Weight
 

Jake,
What is the weight of the car now? How close are you to the #3,200?

I'll let Jake answer if he wants to but it is quite a ways from the 3,200 minimum for the USCA.

Thanks! The cam specs are proprietary to the guys over at Lingenfelter. If you're interested in purchasing something I would highly recommend giving them a call, they have been very helpful. I don't remember what the compression was off the top of my head but its nothing crazy since it was built to race on 91 octane. The cam isn't crazy either. Sadly living in L.A. means this car sits in a lot of traffic when I drive it to events.

They did a lot of head work to get those numbers and the MSD intake also contributes to why the numbers are so good.

Thanks! And like gnx7 mentioned its pretty cool how it was able to help us with our intake tube performance. Win Win!

Not as close as I would like! haha

With under a half tank of gas at the last SCCA event the car weighed about 3350 lbs. Not terrible but If I could drop another hundred pounds I would be happy.

At least if anyone ever wants to challenge my car's weight at an event I have nothing to worry about:lol:

The oil, trans, power steering and diff cooler along with the fire suppression bottles and the 13ish quart dry sump all make it so this car runs incredible and safely on the road course but they certainly add a lot of weight.
At least the driver doesn't weigh much...

Jake,

Great job on the car for far, and thanks for sharing. I saw you ran a 1:58.2 lap at the Thunderhill USCA - that is flat out hauling the mail and a big tribute to both driver and car.

Based on your and Stielow's experience, I finally decided to pull the trigger on some Anvil fenders and inners. No matter what I do, my car ultimately seems to be limited by front grip, and I'm hoping 40mm more tire and less weight will be just the ticket. What backspacing did you end up with on the 18x11 front wheels? And did they rub anywhere? Trying to figure out my wheel options ... And of course I understand I still need to measure for myself :)

Thanks much for any info,

Scott

Hey Scott thanks for the props! I love Thunderhill and can't wait to go back and am pretty pleased with that lap. We've made some more improvements and I'm hoping for a 57 next year with some luck :relax: Come by and say hi at an event sometime.

We are running 18x11s up front with 6 1/4 backspace and it is a very tight fit in and out. If we had gone a quarter inch more or less it would have been bad as right now there is just light rub on both sides of the tire.

Another little tip on the Anvil stuff is to run it on the car for a bit before doing paint/bodywork if possible as it does seem to shift and settle at first. Ours did fit pretty well though so no complaints.

Any more questions just let me know!
