Little bit of everything. Classes are event dependent. Mostly NASA unlimited class so it runs with stuff that could easily smack it down but its more of a special event build. Ultimately we want to run it in 25 hour. Hillclimbs it might be OSPO or SPO if we get rear wing off and bolt on a spoiler.

As far as expenses. Intakes are few bucks of aluminum tubes welded together with $44 AEM filters. Exhaust is just 3" stainless tubes with $99 muffler from Summit. Dash is $650 race Pak, the floor is just cheap steel and aluminum sheet metal. Fenders are fiberglass not CF. Motor was built with easily sourced OEM and aftermarket parts. The drysump was some bucks but I think worthwhile investment. AEM stand alone ECU is very affordable. Lots of bits were sponsored as well. So expenses were spared. If I went wild I'd do ITBs and sequential trans. But my tranny is bone stock and so is is induction system.
Stoker built by JWT. It's a 13.6 to 1 using VQ40 crank to stroke. 350z heads with lots of cam and valve work. JE pistons. It's tuned for e85. Hoping for about 425 + hp and healthy amount of torque.

I think you would be surprised at how many of the OEM attachment points and OEM parts are on the car. Engine is all Nissan Z, stock trans, lots of stock suspension bits, stock driveline and rear end. Stock rear brake calipers, stock steering rack, stock subframes, etc.

Also sponsored to an extent. Brian at Valkyrie is contributing time to this build to show what he is capable of doing. Some of the stuff is expereimental so not really typical billed work. He has hand fabbed almost everything you see. He is also my nieghbor. He is going to be driving the car as well. ....so labor expenses havent been bad at all.
