Bravo Sir ! Awesome to see those numbers to the wheels ! I'm sure this thing is a blast to drive

 

Yes sir! The extra power is amazing!!

 

Time to have some fun!! Bought some Mickey Thompson street ET sticky tires

 

Tires are installed, and car is clean! Might be heading down to Irwindale Raceway tonight! Stay Tuned..

 

Bring it to Racelegal in San Diego tomorrow. Bunch of Fs will be there

 

I would go, but I just looked up the address, and it's 2 1/2 hours from me

 

No worries. A caravan from LA came down. Good times.

 

ANY VIDEOS?...

Looks like a nice showing!. Maybe next time? Kids & work make weekdays tough. Maybe they will offer something on a weekend sometime.
Does that track have an ET/MPH light board?

From what I heard Irwindale is suppose to open the Dragstrip on Saturdays starting on 5/19, as well as the regular Thursday.

This event is open 3-10pm

 

One of the things I thought about when installing this RR Racing SC kit, was the need for a cold air box. Being I cannot just order one online, I decided to custom fab something. Myself, and one
of my techs grabbed the first thing we could find. A fender that was scrap. We measured the area between the SC, and the air filter the best we could. We then cut a piece and begin to mold it to fit the area.
Next we needed to affix it somewhere. We riveted a custom bracket, and screwed it into the apron in a provided threaded hole. Then painted it black and used a rubber seal all the way around

Temperatures dropped in the area around the filer 10 degrees. We knew we were on to something!








Next we cut the upper plastic fender seal along side of the filter to force cold air to the filter

 

Looks great!! Videos from Racelegal can be found on Instagram under ISFASTER

 

Phase 2 ~

We decided to build off what we now knew worked. I found another piece of metal (door skin) and began fabricating an additional piece. My intention was to make a somewhat of a
box seal, using the hood




This piece was a little tricky, being we had to fix it around wiring



Attached to the original piece and ready for the next phase



Stopped at Grainger and purchased some rubber edge trim seal



Next picked up some aluminum heat barrier from McFadden and Dale, adhesive backed



Also picked up some double reflective insulation from Home Depot and some heat resistant tape



On the inside I cut the insulation, sprayed glue then applied it also using reflective tape. On the outside I used the aluminum heat barrier from McFadden and Dale, adhesive backed




Re applied the trim seal. Ready to install




Perfect fit. Temps have dropped dramatically! 20+ degrees

 

WOW James! you continually impress me! Since there is a 20 Degree drop in temp (which obviously means more power), you gonna Dyno it again after this mod?

 

Love your work.

The question I wanted to ask was ... where does that type of so called cone filter get it's air from ?

Doesn't it require some sort of ram intake system ?

 

Thanks! I will be posting a new Dyno on race gas soon

I would assume some kind of ram air would be best. I wanted to design something to force cold air directly into the engine. With the cutout in the fender upper seal this allows air to be rammed directly to the filter. The box I made is keeping hot air out from the SC, and engine. Since, I have no air box anymore options are limited. Especially with the limited space

 

This build is on another level, details are crazy and now serious power ! Congrats !
