I've been swamped with work and all my free time has been chasing after a suspected vacuum leak. I just replaced the intake manifold and once the rain stops, take it out for a test drive. If its not that, then i'm looking at a leak in my brake booster.

The next project is the front splitter/undertray.

That's no joke, the split between me and the lead guy around the last track is about 2.7 seconds. I think he has similar power levels as me but is in a lighter chassis and has some aero. I was forced to run without an undertray last round since it was hanging too low. That could have been half a second right there.

Here is his run:

I cant go too far unfortunately. I can only remove from the b pillar back which is already done. The downside is the cage/fire system is probably equal to what I removed. The A/C system is out as well as a significantly lighter radiator support. There is still some sound deadening that could go and maybe 20lbs by sourcing a lighter battery.
