Mark, how do Red Devil and Jackass compare?

I learned a ton off Jackass. The 2nd time around was much easier. Due to the fact we documented the build of JA so well it was easier to do a second car.
We had already sorted out:
• Wiring harness
• Engine Cal
• Clutch
• A/C
• Cooling
The main difference is I built the whole car in my shop. I was able to get stuff done just the way wanted it. When you have a shop do it sometimes things are not done exactly like you want them.
JA is a great car and part of the reason I did a bigger engine is to make Red Devil different from JA.
My car was going to have a cammed up LS7 in it until SEMA last year. I drove JA and I wanted a blown engine. Then I drove a 7.0L LS9 and I knew that is what I wanted.
JA and RD both idle at 650 RPM, A/C blows cold, no cooling issues, stop on a dime and hauls butt.
My car would not be as nice as it is if I had not done all the cars I’ve done in the past. I learn something from every build.
