Sledgehammer updates

Man what a great looking car! This is the first time I have seen it and just spent over an hour reading through your post. I'm sorry to hear about the wheel and now the shock. Keep up the great work.

Well guys I made up my mind. It's the supercharger. DSE subframe connectors are in along with other mods. Ill take pictures sometime this week.

Not suprised, when I found out you had the fatman frame I kinda winced, but didn't want to rain on your parade. I installed a set of their lower/upper control arms on a first gen and the uppers had no bump stops and no suspension gains. The lowers were not made correctly and the plate that held the lower spring bent and threw off everything. They of course sent us new revised versions which were better, but I still had to charge the guy to swap them out. Good luck with the rebuilds

Yeah mine didn't come with bump stops either but the custom Koni's have them built in to the shock/spring. We are going to see how that works before they fab some up. The arms are not too bad, and they seem to be pretty tough, and the geometry is not bad for a M2. But the stuff they are doing will improve this whole thing. The stock springs and shocks are trash though. The frame itself from what I understand is pretty stiff, much stiffer then a Martz. Will see how it goes. It should be pretty fast and stiff once it's done. Frank from Prodigy Customs is helping with the design and parts for the procharger on my car. I want to thank him for the effort and time as well. Ill give you all the info on everything later once the kit and fab work is finalized.

Ok, finally something happining. The supercharger came in today as did the GPS snitch. That thing is pretty cool. The car goes in next week and they have all the parts, and it's just a matter of time to bolt everything together at this point. It's going to be real tough to make the Goodguys in San Diego, but they are going to try and get everything finished for that show. I hope. Thanks again Frank for the parts.
