Greg - Yep, and the hearing protection was a good idea too!

What do you feel you are getting from the DSE subframe that is an improvement over the AM ? Or is it a "sponsorship" thing ?

What's the guesstimate to when JA 2.0 will be completed?

Thank you for finding that info on the cluster for me. I had been searching but couldn't find much for the Camaro application (hellfire).

I like it and will have to see how it stacks up against racepak for Holley applications.

I really know the DSE stuff. I have used it on the last 3 cars and I like the way the car feels with the DSE parts. With some work I could make the AME part work but with the DSE I have a laptop full of notes on how to set it up. the DSE suspension for me is hitting the easy button. It is quicker to swap sub frames than develop the Art Morrison part.

JA 2.0 will be a steel body like Red Devil, drive line like Hell Fire. So it will be 150 heavier than Hellfire and it will have 275 mm tire in the front like Red Devil vs the 315 on Hellfire.

A lot depends on a couple key partners. Sled Alley is set to rework the following:

Mount the new C&R cooling stack
New trans crossmember
New BIG induction tube
Move dry sump tank
Fix the fire wall and random holes in bottom of car
Repaint bottom, firewall and engine bay

Thomson Auto has the engine parts on order. I hope to have the new engine running in 4 weeks

Ryan Kuhlenbeck if flying in this week to help me wire the car. We are coping the electrical architecture of Hellfire. It is also fun to hang out with him.

When the car gets back from Sled Alley I need to:

Finish the wiring
Make ABS brake lines
Fuel lines
Trans and diff cooler lines
Re Assemble
New carpet
New dash with data logger

So if all goes to plan JA 2.0 should be running mid April.

The key to getting it done is not too much scope creep.

Mark -- Get yourself a roll of 3M Spark Deflection paper and cover that paint up before the VanNus boys see you working around all that nice paint. LOL

Nothing to see here just some "updates" you know clean up a couple parts.....

I didn't see any down bars on Hellfire but it had a full halo in the car I assume its on purpose. Is there enough strength with the DSE combo vs extra under hood packaging of down bars?

Love these builds.

Do you have any pic of the engine sitting on the dse subframe with the AC notch? I wonder why DSE hasn't done this themselves?
