• 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.

Any chance you might publish a book that covers the build's? I would buy one! I'd buy a photo copy of your notes!

Great build!
