Please post results when you get it done, sounds like a really interesting project. Good luck with your build!

Tony, We log most critical parameters with two separate loggers one for the car and the other for the engine. Scott noticed that the abs did not always work and we could not find any error codes set in the Bosch system. We then looked at video and found that the ABS Mil light flickered several...

Thanks Tony, I just saw this post. For those who don't know, we upgraded the car with a Bosch Mk5 Club Sport racing ABS this year but not without issues. Seems that my 65 amp Denzo one wire alternator does not do a good job controlling output voltage above 9000 rpm. We saw some spikes on the...

I have had half shaft bolt problems for years on my 1966 Cobra. I used grade 8 aircraft spruce parts for many years but they still would stretch and loosen after a relatively short number of cycles. I had to replace the bolts 3-4 times per year until two years ago. I found some aerospace...

You need to get on the throttle hard and keep it there, they will light.

You can really see why he was so good. An excellent driver who also had a deep understanding of vehicle dynamics and engineering! Thank you for posting.

Lap Time?

I also hate the rear view so much I don't think I could own one. But..... that engine has so much potential, look out for following years. Electric front drive and twin turbo V8 and you have a world beater, just twin turbos will yield 720S beating hp. I sure would not count them out from a...

It is described within this article but it is an FE based aluminum engine that makes 820 HP @ 8200 and 562 lb/ft@7000 red line 9400 rpm, it is 440 cid.

Actually if will be 54 years old in November, I bought it in November of 1965. They are so short, narrow and light it takes a very skilled driver with quick hands to extract the performance that is within. This is a very extreme example but it was a handful even brand new with about 1/2 the...

Latest outing with CSX3170 last weekend, over 9200 several places. The red "heads up" reflection on the windshield indicates the traction control is pulling timing, as much as 20 degrees. We have a way to go to hook this thing up on concrete.

They should offer it with manual sequential transmission and then get power into the 850 - 900 hp range. It is a race car, use leaded 114 or ethanol and get that baby up there with the big boys!

How much does it weigh?

That is a very good feature, I cringe when I hear some moron at a track day or even C&C reving the crap out of a cold engine. Very common occurrence with F cars and Lambo's akin to beating a puppy.

I have the following parts and would like to sell them as a package since they were developed together. This will save thousands of dollars for the purchaser. Whipple 4.0 Liter with two pulleys and drive belts (track and Street) Accufab Throttle Body Stiffener for air inlet Long Tube Headers...
