There are many, but here is another vote for Senna. -HJ

Congratulations, Dean. Thanks for sharing that video clip...absolutely righteous. Nice job!

Watching that video clip makes me have to ask how soon till we see a SL-C Superlite in the Rolex Grand Am series? I could see the SL-C holding its own against (or better than ) those Corvette and Ferrari race cars.

Thanks for that info and helpfulness! :) I'm hoping to be a customer soon, but till then I'll keep dreaming.

I have no experience with DSS, but I can vouch for Keith Craft Racing. I purchased a "built" 306-ci short block from KCR in Sept 2006 for a twin-turbocharged application. Over 50K miles of 9# boost through that motor with no issues. Great service, fair price, and no complaints. I would use...

Ditto! I happy to see the updates and explanation on status/availability.

I apologize in advance if I accidentally hi-jack Doug's original thread, but my intent is to give this topic a bump and keep it growing. Chris, Those numbers are about what I am hearing, also. Depending how much of DIY-er you are, I am thinking that number could creep-upwards though. Where...

Justin: Thanks for posting those pictures of gel-coat finish; that looks way, way better than i was thinking it would. I had been thinking I needed to factor a fair dollar amount into my build estimate for a good paint job immediately, but I might defer that given how good the gel coat looks...

These thoughts occurred to me last night as I re-watched one of the Gearz episodes that showed the red SL-C in the background as Stacey worked on a Ford truck's exhaust: 1) Is that the car that was actually built by Gearz??? 2) What are they doing with that car when it is finished??? It...

Aha. Thanks for that clarification. I see elsewhere that the C&C is held every Saturday 7AM to 9AM-ish with upwards of 150 cars normally? I'm definitely looking that place up the next time I'm out there. -HJ

Wow! What a beautiful car; I love that color on that body shape. Where abouts was that picture taken in Virginia? It looks so familiar, but I can't place it...lived out there from 2007-2008. Thanks for sharing those pictures. -HJ

Awesome replies and info...you all gave me some good info to chew on and great websites to reference. Seeing Will's fastener drawers makes me think I need to spend some time in my man-cave getting my kit in tip-top shape before tackling this project. :idea: I've got my bolts, screws...

This might be a dumb question, but has anyone compiled a list of recommended fasteners, nuts, bolts, clips, fittings, etc. for a SL-C build? I've been doing lots of research and data-mining, am am seeing references to all sorts of things that I never knew about before, but don't have any...

Molleur: Yes. I noticed that (what an awesome schematic, other than the minor labeling issue mentioned above BTW). I think I would prefer a surge tank similar to the one depicted in Wayne's schmatic to the one available from CXRacing because the CXRacing version has different -AN fittings on...

I really hate to resurrect this old post, but I need some help understanding. I see above that it is generally recommended to use the Bosch 044 (after the surge tank), and I know from the specs that it flows about 79-80 gph max or 299-300 lph. Thanks to this post and Wayne's diagram...
