    Stephan's SLC Build Log

    Getting ready to drop the tub in for good. During test fitment with seats I noticed a deflection in the tub area of the seat front depending on where you put your foot to get into the seat. To prevent the tub from cracking and fatigue from stress, I fabricated these dimpled light weight supports.

    Hello Joel, I purchased at the time from Tabzone as well before switching to tuned length headers. If I remember correctly I went with 3/8" steel and used factory LS7 gasket. The profile was milled in the factory LS7 stainless manifold flange to properly seat and to create the required pressure...

    New kit car on knock off SLC chassis

    The RAZOR on a knock off SLC chassis. Price for a roller chassis is $10,000 and the body is priced with windows, hinges and tail lights at $12,000. Not a bad looking kit if someone is creative, can come up with an interior and is looking for a different skin.

    Stephan's SLC Build Log

    Hello Johan, Good point and it hit me early in the layout of the system. Usually headers are being build from the manifolds backwards with the tubes meeting at a certain point to enter a collector. This can carry the risk that if the collectors are not equal or precise enough the inserted tubes...
