Hard to argue with consistency!
I hope that continues as the car gets faster.
Paint job is way cool.
Congrats on the sponsor.

Thank you. Unfortunately the clear coat is peeling off in big chunks. So I may repair it.

If it does become inconsistent, it can be detuned until it comes back. A lot of people tune them for every last bit of performance and then when the weather changes just a little, so does the car. I don't like spending my time at the track working on the car when the sun starts going down or the humidity changes and on and on....

That's about the max I assume without a spring relocation?

Width wise yes. I have a spacer behind the wheel. It fills the wheel well up nice. I’ll put 30’s on it next

$600 bucks for a fiberglass hood so I was a bit timid about cutting it to install the scoop. Measured several times. Looks good & stayed right on the line. Bolted the 6 Pack scoop on. About a 40 pound weight savings & a lot easier to handle the glass hood for servicing if needed
