@@hectorfacton1852 thanks! Yea should be a blast!

If I do, my wife will kill me because that would mean a new project!

Hey brother! I still miss that 'Vette -- hopefully she's behaving better. :)

It took me a long time to save up for everything, but still cheaper than a new Corvette since my labor is free. It's more all of the time/work and insanity 😁

It's a Holley Hi-Ram. I added an elbow so the TB is on the left side with the filter taking in air from the duct in front of the driver's rear tire. This video shows the routing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmfLhKiOm6hrppI

@@markb5066 Hi mate i love the car it looks like a hypercar!!! Im about to build a rebody of a toyota into a hyper/supercar of my own the original car then rebodying it so i can drive it on the road legally upgrading shocks disk brakes wheels custom headlights im doing everything for under 5k why didnt you start from a car then cut and chop??

@@user-dn9kk9qu5y Thanks! I really wanted to build something from the ground-up (personal preference). There are certainly pros and cons to either route depending on your goals. Enjoy your project and best of luck!!

Thanks! I just got it painted so will be putting on proper door seals, but overall I'm keeping it more of a street-legal track car.

I have the car apart right now finally getting it painted. I'll have a video up in a few weeks about that whole process hopefully :)

I almost always drive with the windows off and there's not much wind inside the cabin. The hot air from the radiator flows mostly over the car so you don't get any heat inside, but some does come from behind you since the motor is back there. I use the AC whenever it gets over 80 degrees or so. I've only driven it in very light rain so far no no problems yet :)

Have nice happy any accident free days I wish to see more videos maybe at race track over 120 miles

@@skarademirlidag Thanks! one of my other videos show me running at the Texas mile. Got it up to 187 there

Thanks for the feedback!

It totally depends on how it's built -- drivetrain, interior, etc. I've seen them sell anywhere from $80k to $150k

@@markb5066 oh ok man thanks for replying

Sorry no downforce testing. It was squatting quite a bit at speed but I have no way of measuring it. I agree the car should be capable of more (aero, alignment, etc). I even noticed when I got home that my #7 spark plug was melted so that certainly didn't help.

@@markb5066 Ouch. I hope it go into 190's mph range.

Thanks!

I'll be at the "Cartoberfest" this Saturday in Cedar Park (northwest Austin) facebook.com/photo/?fbid=906857910853103&set=gm.6414170025358246

Thanks! It's a short stroke LS7 with solid roller cam. 574RWHP.

570 RWHP, 440 RWTQ

They have about 1/2 mile of space to slow down so plenty of room. I was also using the opportunity to tune my brake balance.

It’s been 7 months did business work out and you built it?

@yogamon lol business works slower then 7 months. But lol investor talks. Take like probably 24 to 36 months once I get capital for shit. Then I'll actually have time to do shit. Formal business proposals are a frigging pain in the ass to write. And gotta deal with actual legal stuff and lawyers. Especially on something that's going to be international, and dealing with production facilities.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Yea it definitely doesn't seem like that long! I guess that means we're old 😁

Yep, thats what they do at the "Texas Mile" event that I did a couple months back. My latest video has that event.

Thanks! It's an AIM MXP Strada display

I got it off Amazon. Here's the link but since I got it in 2019 there are better/cheaper options out there now. a.co/d/iU7m5BR

Well remember reaction time has nothing to do with ET since the clock doesn't start until AFTER my shitty reaction time. But yea, even with 10-year-old hard tires since 60% of the weight is on the rear wheels and the car only weighs about 2650 with fuel/fluids (+200lbs for my fat butt). It was also pretty hot (90+) that day. I think with the HP you're shooting for, better launch skills and fresh tires, low/mid 10s would certainly be realistic.

It's a solid-roller, de-stroked LS7

Thanks! The high pitch is probably just because I shift around 8100 rpm.

He is talking about that high pitch whining and it's the gearbox he is probably using all straight cut gears like we use in circle track asphalt latemodels and stuff that's where you get that nice high pitch beautiful whine from and he is also turning 81000 rpms. I'm my asphalt circle track open wheel modified at certain half mile ovals if there is a wall all the way around inside and outside of the track it will make my ears feel like they are gonna burst and are bleeding from the high pitch of the motor being turned to 9200 rpms and the transmission gearbox whining. I run a 896 rear wheel horsepower 400sbc in my asphalt modified it's a old NASCAR cup series engine that I got off a old NASCAR truck series driver that use to own the race track I race at locally and I had it rebuilt and the engine guy built to where it can safely turn 9200 for 100 laps plus no problems all season long with out worrying about blowing up and hear it is same motor has 120 races on it and still running up front. But what y'all do is very crazy motor wise

​@@youknoweverything7643my ls in my gto is very similar to your truck motor. Was set up to go 10k now does 9500. Things a frigging ridiculous monster way less hp now but alot more endurance to it. It got me more into high revving builds which is influenced my dream slc build. K48 Honda based v8. Flatplane crank. Should have the power and torque of a domestic style v8 and still Rev out like a European super car. Play with the gearing and tuning and it should have the reliability to match the gm based builds with a high revving nature and speeds to match the best. And a better trans reliability since its in a much lighter platform. And I'm gonna do the sequential mod and paddleshift with electronic assistance. In vein of the old repurposed f1 style single clutch paddleshifts but more reliability. Mated up gearing wise to an engine that fits the transmission well with further tuning to pair them. And no adapter plates. And get some extra room in the engine bay. If I can manage to get it tuned na the way I want. Boost system. Series twin charging super and turbo. With a way to bypass the super and fully open bo valve street mode. Full boost track mode. Repurposed 911 exhaust electronic controlled choke valve. And a dump valve. So it can fully bypass and open for a straight pipe track mode or quieter track mode. Keep it low as possible in weight. But also have that high hp mode for God tier levels of power to weight but a reasonable driving mode as well. Reliability like a ls but performance like the best. Along with the best traction control and tires and brakes possible.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I think its coming from the interior panels rubbing against the chassis. I need to trim them a bit and add some padding. My door seals also have several big gaps which I will have to address when I have it painted.

Going to the Texas Mile next weekend so hopefully I'll grab some video

I have the low oil pressure warning set at 20 PSI and when the engine is hot it will sometimes dip below 20 at idle

Thanks!

It's a short-stroke LS7 with a mild solid roller cam. details are in this vid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anWVqYGHYq2Ejbc

Lol. Yep that's what it's for 😁

Thanks! The kit with the chassis, suspension, body and most of the components is about $45K USD from Superlitecars.com Then you have to buy an engine, transaxle and other components depending on how you want to build it. That doesn't include labor of course :)

@@markb5066 COOL.. I wonder if this kit could fit transverse engine like honda K series?

Hi Joel, yea they're slightly over 5" in diameter without the shielding. Cats get upwards of 1000 degrees F and it gets worse with track days. Since they're still in close proximity to engine wiring, shift cables, parking brake cables, oil lines, even the nylon locknuts on the suspension, I wanted to have an extra layer to be safe.

Happy to help 😁

Why do you like the SLC over the Ultima RS or FF GTM? I am not too familiar with any of then, just curious.

Nope, not yet. Bodywork will come after a year or so once I know everything is mechanically sound and the fiberglass has plenty of time to show any manufacturing flaws.

@@markb5066 Oh ok. Gotchya. Great sounding car though. That top end note is truly glorious from inside. As far as I can tell. Good luck with the rest of the process.
