There's a good collection here: SEMA 2010 | Facebook

I just got back from SEMA as well. It was a decent show this year, not as many booth babes as in the past ;( The SLC looked great! It was getting a lot of interest. The car was black and really low to the ground. The GTM got quite a bit of interest as well although I was disappointed at...

Got my pledge in ... looking forward to counting up the laps!

Crash, How many sets of tires do you expect to go through for the race?

Does the SLC get much downforce from the diffuser? I don't recall seeing any underbody tunnels to feed it.

Ryeno, I am really looking forward to the race but I have to agree with Fran that on track experience in the long haul is worth more than top speed. Remember, it is not a sprint race, the car has to race for 25 hours. I am sure there will be a lot of valuable lessons learned in 25 hours...

Cam, I follow all of the SLC build logs, including yours! The information is greatly appreciated by those of us contemplating a build. John

Fran mentioned that we may see the race car at SEMA so that's got to be a good sign.

For serious connectors (at a serious price) look at Deutsch Autosport connectors. They are very good.

We said "first question" I meant the first one in the above post: Q: The kit cost from RCR is $44K what did you add to get to $80K? A: that is the basic package which is 50,000. i have the upgraded package along with two V8 engines. the package from them does not include any engine at all...

That first question was mine ;)

Fran, I have no plans, yet. I am taking things one step at a time, and right now I am still getting the Ferrari motor back together and looking for another after-hours consulting gig to pay for the next step - unless you want to trade an SLC for some electronic/firmware design work ;)

It looks like I will be there Thursday the 4th, I did not have a chance to see a finished car while at "the shop" so I am really looking forward to it.

I agree on the new website. It would be great to see some professional hi-res photos of the car.

I am thinking about attending.

TimB, Have you checked out TWM Induction? They make Weber style throttle bodies. Borla-TWM Induction - Throttle Bodies (423) 979-4045 John

Fred, Very inspiring work, thanks for sharing your build!

Looking at Team Torque, with a calibration fee ranging from $35 on up plus shipping both ways, it's probably less expensive to get a new wrench ( unless you have a Snap-On or similar).

Thanks guys! I have a "clicky" one that I have had since high-school but I imagine the calibration is suspect by now. I will try to track down that article. As for the durability of F-cars? I have owned Italian cars for the last 25 years - it's clear I don't learn from my mistakes ;)

I am rebuilding a Ferrari 360 drive-train in hopes of putting it an SLC and I am thinking an engine this nice deserves a better torque wrench than the one I have. Recommendations anyone?
