This a seriously cool build.......subscribed. Your baseline was 5whp more than my dyno on the similarly ball crushing Function:Tuned dynodynamics. It's nice to start off with something that already makes close to 290 on a DJ. I can't wait to see this thing when its completed. What are you guys going to use for an LSD/FD/and clutch set-up?

For weight savings I think you should replace everything exterior with Carbon Fiber..

Carbonetic LSD, and for clutch, most likely Carbonetic as well. We are working on support for some of these parts.

We'll just replace it with nothing...that's cheaper.

Good stuff, this should mean more options for the G37 crowd also.

The first round of testing and development will entail using the OEM engine, with standard breathing mods. Once the chassis and fully developed, we have plans for a TT system/engine build.

I meant, replace it with nothing..as in just replacing it with the OEM parts. Carbon is too darn expensive.

Might throw a few dry carbon parts on, if they are off the shelf items. I was dreading having to make custom one-off dry carbon pieces.

I'd rather spend that money on suspension.......and strippers.

Sharif,
Are you willing to part out the Rear BBK? If yes, how much do you want them for? Any pics of it?

New weight stamp after removing the stuff from under the dash? Before you were at 3009# without seats, and it was 58% front bias.
