Yeah, I cant blame the tires... Had them aired down and the strap over the push bar created a bunch of down pressure. It was also our first attempt at 5th gear on the dyno.
Door panels are almost 10lbs each not including the extra sound dampener and fiberglass removed.
thanks... c5 door panels weight couple pounds.... never had the c6 apart and NEver will BUT Im shocked how light every single part of a corvette is ...
I've sweated and bled to get the c5z down to good weight... wondering if ill ever have some convinient place to do a MPH roll race like yourself..
how much weight do you think those hatch latches will save? they look awesome.
Factory latch assembly was just under 4 pound with the striker.. I have not yet removed the surrounding bracket, I have to remove the water tank to get to it.
A little paint on the exposed portion of the door..
A pile of "extra" parts..
And the finished door. Now I just have to decide what to do with the window controls. I am thinking about moving the driver side controls to the center console.
very nice... you are Dedicated .. I moved my window power to the center.. the drivers window actually is My Nitrous switch panel that says "opener" ...
I'm hoping to make a Mojave Mile event in 2017 with my turbo LS9 Rx-7!
My car makes around 1400hp flywheel; however not sure I have the ***** to go 240mph.
I have a rare 2.47 gear to put out back in the 8.8" solid axle mine runs.

How's the X holding up? Must be doing okay since you haven't commented any issues with it. How many hits and how hard are you spinning it?
No issues with the F1x so far.. 15 or so passes in the 1.5 mile, and about the same on the dyno.. Broke one 10 rib, but it only lasted about 10 seconds after installing, so something was wrong there.. One broken cog at max rpm.
Havent really pushed it yet. Running 8"/4.25" under 7200 rpm (put me somewhere close to mfg max gearbox rpm). Plan is to run 4", more rpm and a couple stages on top.
I did end up shifting the 10 rib about .050" off what the laser showed as true to keep it from jumping a rib.. maybe solid motor mounts would help?
yep did you pull down(or up matter of speech) with engine or pulled tube back?
Engine stayed in place, I couldn't even tilt it back as much as normal due to all the extra plumbing behind the intake. Tube did slide back with little effort.

I envy doing the stuff you do without lift ***** my set up comes off
In 30,,, pull up action
