80lbs is nill?

atomicfusion

We lost 57lbs on the brakes alone, then some more with the K-member.

As for the 9" it will still be used with a rear mount RPM Transmission.

Also when we did the K-member, part of the reasoning was to fit this...

Mmmmm multi stage dry sump........mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Obviously I was already assuming the brakes were swapped out. I said in my post "suspension". I was referring to the upper/lower control arms, and hub assemblies.

I was also referring to the NET difference..

0Jeff @ TPE

Is that the Dailey Settup?
We just ordered one of those ourselves. It hasn't come in yet, So I didnt know we were gonna have to swap the K-member.

Kurt is also building our motor/turbo, but we are staying with 76's and the RHS tall deck. The billet block is to rich for my blood. We were originally going to run with the 88's, but he said they will split the block. This is our first venture, so Im trying to learn as much of wha NOT to do as possible..

I would have LOVED to run the rear mount 9". But it wasnt avail when we started this project. Heres a picture of our housing out of the car. It mounts tto the chassis up top. Are you running the 33 spline axles as welll?

You will need to loose the motor mounts to use the Daily kit... so at a minimum you will need to motor plate it. But something tells me you guys have done that. You can clear the factory k-member (I think) as long as the motor mounts are gone, but we wanted multiple things from this K-member.

Weight, Motor plates, access to the botom of the motor, more clearance for other parts of the upcomming turbo kit, and the new brake setup.

I realize I didn't loose a ton of weight, but all told with the brakes it should be 70-80 net lbs lost and we are really trying to get the car down to 3300lbs with me in it, so every little bit helps.

Some nice parts you got there Mark, keep up the awesome work. Good luck to you and the guys involved with the built.

atomicfusion

Thanks Chris, heard you might be coming home from the sandbox. Give me a call sometime.

GIO-305

Yea Chris hope your home soon. Hit me up by PM. Like to here how everything worked out with the stuff you bought from me.

gt500SuprSnke

Look like i will be home in March right now, I might stop by the shop to check out the progress of your car. I'll give you a call if i make it around your area. Maybe i can catch a few more of your races this year.

Other than the additional voltage, what beniifit do you see going to a 16V system? I looked into those batteries, but didnt know enough to make a decision.
Are you gonna run an alternator? Or are you going straight battery life?

aweil

Hotter ignition.

More fuel pump volume.

More water moved for an electric water pump.

You can choose to not run an alternator and the voltage won't dip too low during a pass.

atomicfusion

All of this... but yes we are still running an alternator.

Hey Mark what are u doing for breaks? We are worried about that with my car

atomicfusion

We will have strange race brakes up front and out back we have base c6 brakes.... Chutes will help a lot too.

atomicfusion

I stopped from low 8's with the stock brakes without issue at most tracks.

JUIC3D

Most tracks?? Did you have any scary moments at some other tracks?
