No, it is the OEM ZR1 roof and halo. We purchased those to make the molds for ours.

Ours are 3lbs lighter than the ZR1 set and 14.4lbs lighter than the stock SMC parts.

Our new quarter panels weigh 2.7lbs vs 8lbs stock.10.5 lbs weight savings.

Lots of pictures. Just dropped the Harrop on tonight for fitment. Perfect. We are going to have to run 85lb injectors with it though.

They look even better in the flesh. We still have the carbon bezel inserts to bond in. We do not use the rear cooling vents (too heavy) and have to bond the ducts in place.

Katech got our car at 2:00 yesterday, and cam, heads, tuning will be done tomorrow before lunch. Added around 40 HP in two days.

We expect around 600 at the wheels. Previously at 561 RWHP. Back to the same dyno.

I let Katech's guy tune, since it is on his dyno and his time. I couldn't do any better.

Our CR is increasing to around 13.2:1 with the non-concave TiMo exhaust valves.

Cam profile is secret for now, but will be announced once everything is through testing. This cam should be good for +20 over our 116 cam with stock heads and with the WCCH heads around +40.

The Harrop should bring another 30 to 40 HP to the party, but we cannot run it on the street until I determine the fabrication path for our GT2Z hood induction and filtration.

It adds 10 lbs or so to the front of our car, which is killing me.

VE will be over 100%. Cool pictures tomorrow.

Thank you! I've been lusting after that Harrop intake ever since you posted the first pictures of it! I've already put that down on my "to do" list for next year so please keep me in the loop on what you come up with as far as air box/filtration is concerned.

Just go on the new carbon FIBER diet and you will drop that 10lbs in no time

Harrop is 6lbs heavier than our complete intake including the FAST intake, WP102, Halltech Carbon Fiber CF112 Beeline pak.

We are dyno testing the new heads and cam, likely today, vs. the Torquer 116 and stock heads. No other changes.

561 RWHP/525lbs-ft is our A. Results to be reported here.

If we can find injectors for the Harrop in time, we will test it Friday.

The +6lbs is 5.5lbs heavier induction, and .5lbs for the added radiator shroud since ours is part of the Super Beehive.
