Accusump location is a no brainer. Bottom back side of radiator support area. Thats where mine would go. Most likely fab something to attach Accusump straps/clamps to subframe cross member.

Would go or will go?

That's one location I'm considering, but I have a PS steering cooler there (not a huge deal to relocate) and more importantly is more weight in the area I don't want more weight.

Chris Robinson has his mounted in front of his fuel tank on his 69.

On Bob's 69 drag Camaro. I made a alum bracket and mounted it in front of the radiator up as high as I could go. I did have to mod the hood latch bracket some. I also put an on/off lever inline... off while going up to staging then turn it on just before you pull out to the track

I'm with you, I don't like oil or fuel in the passenger compartment. Please tell Greg to fix those clamps.

My understanding is the type of dish design will address this. I plan to talk to Mike about this in more depth this week.

For comparison sake, my carb has bigger "vitals" than a HP950.

I didn't realize drag cars ran Accusumps.

Finally something we agree on.

What issue with the clamps -- that they're not aligned?

You guys have to get over the whole "I want to impress my sister" kind of car builds --- mine is a real race car.... clamps schamps... they just have to be functional.... they ain't about being pretty!

Actually -- you might laugh - but when you see the little ole Mutt... you'd be shocked at how nicely it's built COMPARED TO the other crap that shows up! I gots me a bonafide show car compared to some of this other junk on the track.

Mine will have the same clamps. No billet clamps or Ring Brothers hinges on this car.

Greg's car is actually a big factor of my "blueprint" moving forward and the 30 pics of it I took last weekend will provide good reference for a few things I'm doing. It is without a doubt a superbly executed track car, and as you said, looks better and cleaner than a ton of PT cars I've seen.

Greg, be careful... you might get invited to Optima with that "street" car if you put license plates on it (wipers and windows not necessary)

That little Muttstang wouldn't stand a chance at Optima. Those red and blue fittings would cost him too many points in the style portion

Oh and I doubt he has tire warmers. You need those to be competitive these days.

2 - The nice used pans I was finding for $250-350 sell for over $1000 new. They are amazing quality. Here is an example of one made by Weiss and it is top notch (verified by their competitor who I called. LOL)

Just step up to the dry side.
